    Description
    This course presents theoretical foundations and practices for designing art curricula that reflect preschool through grade twelve educational state and common core standards. It emphasizes creation of original, hands-on artistic projects, the importance of art in the child's development, and understanding of multicultural art traditions in subject matter, materials, and processes. Students will gain basic art skills, understand the creative process, and investigate the critique process. Historical contexts and indigenous aesthetics as they relate to the development of primary skills and appreciation for art and the creative process are examined.
