Recommended: Teaching as art

PGE 2 Arts Integration I teach at an arts-integrated elementary school, with students kindergarten through fifth grade. At my school the curriculum integrates the arts in all subjects in addition to offering special areas of arts, music, drama, Spanish, computers and the library or media center where a school wide, student news show is conducted. I have deepened my arts content knowledge through 2 book studies on Claudia Cornett’s books, and ongoing professional development with school and visiting arts specialists. I have acquired and deepened my pedagogical skills to remain current with the professional development offered and to participate in the arts conferences for the past two years. At my school, we have hosted an annual district

    For my Cultural Plunge, I participated with Project Excell (Extending College Education for Lifelong Learning). This is a group that meets on campus, in the union, every Saturday morning from 9:00-11:00 AM. Each participant has a developmental disability and they come from various places around Manhattan. Project Excell offers around 4 different classes for the participants to choose from, which range from dancing/theatre to the history of Nigeria. After completing a “session,” the participants go through a graduation ceremony and then begin a different type of class for the next few weeks. I joined this group as a student ambassador, who assists the classroom teachers while building relationships with and tending to the needs of the participants.

  • Creative Arts Education Philosophy

    718 Words  | 2 Pages

    Social studies and creative arts education should be taught starting in the early childhood setting and then continually built upon during the elementary years. Diverse learners benefit from both of these programs when classrooms celebrate differences and unity. Without both programs, students wouldn’t learn about themselves, their community, history, or have 21st century skills such as problem solving, working cooperatively, creative thinking, and artistic expression. Social studies and creative art programs should be taught through rich hands-on learning experiences. Developmentally appropriate practices must include using standards in all content areas, involving family and community,

  • Gudea Ur Ningirsu Analysis

    This piece from the Ancient Near East caught my eye mainly because of the title. We’ve looked at the figure Gudea in course material before so I was very interested to find a statue of Gudea’s son, Ur-Ningirsu. Ur-Ningirsu is depicted in a strikingly similar way to his father in that his features show a humble, pious, and competent individual. He is shown with the same style wool cap as his father showing his humility and clasped hands showing his control. Piety is a common theme in Sumerian art during this time period since leaders weren’t shown as divine but rather stewards of the gods.

  • Why Art Should Be Taught In Schools

    1642 Words  | 4 Pages

    When thinking of school, one might imagine a place filled with students lugging around heavy backpacks full of math and English homework, teachers giving lectures on the Civil War or the functions of the cell, and classrooms full of desks and dull decorations. But, it is exactly this mindset that proves America has gone wrong when it comes to education. Instead of a learning environment in which students are constantly regurgitating information, school should be a place where new and creative thinking is encouraged. In order to achieve this, special attention should be brought to the one area that specializes in creativity the most, fine arts education. This includes drawing, painting, sculpting, theater, and music, and while some would consider

    As quoted by the College Board of 2005, “Students who took four years of arts coursework outperformed their peers who had one half-year or less of arts coursework by fifty-eight points on the verbal portion and thirty-eight points on the math portion of the SAT.” Many articles on the internet claim that education of the arts is important, not paramount, but statistics are showing otherwise. The creativity students are gaining by participating in the arts does not go unnoticed, but unfortunately not all can open their minds to these striking facts. Need Ghomeshi, editor of Florida International University’s student media site (fiusm.com) believes that “more time needs to be allocated to textbook education. Unfortuantely, the continuously disappointing public education system in the United States promotes the arts while losing focus on textbook education” (Ghomeshi 2). It is in times like these that the arts need attention that they sadly, are not getting. These studies are of the utmost importance in education curriculums, and statistics are showing that participation in theatre, dance, visual arts and music are extremely beneficial for students getting ready to begin standardized testing. An arts education assists children and teens of all ages with a stronger focus and mindset in and out of the school setting. The significance

The more they are involved in arts, the student develop the focus to finish school. The graduation rates is high on those involved in arts because they want to continue their education. The passion that the arts stirs in their intellect drives them to do more. According to Norobi (2012), “Arts integration uses teaching practices that have been shown in brain-based research to improve comprehension and long-term retention”. The more they are involved in arts music, dance, sporting activity and literature the more the students understand the world around them. The students comprehend differently because of the way they understand the things around them that involved music, dance, sporting activity and literature.
