Description

This course is designed to expand the student s knowledge of the art of the primary school child and to examine approaches to teaching art at that level. Students will examine curricula already designed for use at the primary levels and will construct programs suitable for implementation in specific environments. Through lecture and discussion groups, the course will renew the theories of development linked with children s artistic development, consider the place of art education in the primary school curriculum, and design and evaluate appropriate learning experiences.
