Shinozaki Elementary VISUAL ARTS - See the work of school children in Japan. There is a great tradition of obersvational drawing and painting beginning in grade one in Japan. College students from Japan tell me that they spent three hours per week doing artwork when they were in grade 1 to 3. They also have assignments requiring imagination and working from memoires of experience. Ukita Elementary - This page from Japan shows observation drawing outings and sketches from Ukita Elementary, grades 1 to 6. In visiting college students from Japan, they tell me that they had about three hours per week for artwork during their first three years of elementary school. This is probably three times as much time as we allow for art learning in US schools. As you view the examples of school-child work, I try to imagine the attetnion span that has been fostered in the children who created the paintings. http://ukitasho.hp.infoseek.co.jp/ Art About Peace and the Vietnam Memorial.

MIT allows anybody to access all the assignments and even lectures of many of their courses (no credit is given without being a student at MIT) at not cost. In some classes some MIT students take their course work on the the Internet, but go to class to take exams. "Investigating the Culture of Curriculum" by Olivia Gude. Gude discusses art teaching traditions that leave students disillusioned because we are doing things that are no longer valid in today's society. "Reconsider your current curriculum. Try to see the portrait the curriculum paints of the world. If this portrait is not as interesting, complex, and contradictory as the world in which you live--analyze, edit, contextualize, and invent projects and fresh curricular approaches." Goshen College for a great Art Major - An art department with a number of useful career paths in a liberal arts college atmosphere where you get to know your professors who are also artists themselves. Goshen students come from many countries. At Goshen most of the US students including art majors have participated in a SST (study/service term) globally as part of their program since the 1960's. Learn to make the world better through art as service, peace, beauty, tolerance, and justice. See the Core Values of Goshen College. 30 Ideas for Teaching Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Art Kits Uniquely Designed to Develop Creative Thinking Strategies Dragonfly Innovation has a broad range of creative art kits for kids. All the kit companies claim to teach creativity, but they are actually product centered, and do not teach creative thinking. However, Dragonfly kits are actually designed specifically to foster creative thinking strategies. They feature thinking questions, practice activities, experiments, and learning from mistakes rather than showing a "sure thing" specific finished product to make. These fun and educational kits could be very useful in homeschooling, for birthday parites, as gifts, and so on. The kits include documents to help parents encourage creative thinking. The Dragonfly Drawing Kit has recently won several BEST TOY for 2007 AWARDS. The kit includes several innovative drawing aides to make observation easier without providing naive formulas for how to draw. Art teachers will find new and useful ideas and equipment in this kit. The kit includes innovative instructional equipment designed and field tested by Marvin Bartel. The kit features a book of drawing practice activities written by Marvin Bartel. -top of page How to get your page linked from this page Would you like to have your site listed on this page?
