Students should also connect theories and concepts with their complementary paradigm. The lesson will include a guided discussion about the readings and student Reflections and peer questions. The lesson may also include applicable activities such as: field trips to campus galleries/museums, handson investigations, scavenger hunts, etc. Before beginning a lesson, the Class Discussion Facilitator may choose to reorganize and add to the Google Drawing map to aid in discussion facilitation.

Intersections: Visual Art & Education Theories
See Denzins (2010) historical moments in qualitative research, as cited in The Qualitative Manifesto TRADITIONAL (1900-1950): The artist-teacher views learning or artmaking as a timeliness truth based on scientific principles. (Keifer-Boyd, 2014, p. 195). MODERNIST (1950-1970): The artist-teacher views learning or artmaking as a formalization of . . . methods similar to the formal language of elements and principles of art (Keifer-Boyd, 2014, p. 195). BLURRED GENRES (1970-1986) (see Geertz, 1980): The artist-teacher is aware of their subjectivity, and becomes a bricoleur . . . , borrow[ing] from many different disciplines (Denzin, 2010, p. 13). CRISIS OF REPRESENTATION (1986-1990) (see Marcus & Fischer, 1986): The artist-teacher struggles with locating themselves and their subjects in reflective texts. The line between a text and context blurred (Denzin, 2010, p. 14). THE POSTS (1990-2004): The artist-teacher develops a concern for literary and rhetorical tropes and the narrative turn, a concern for storytelling (Denzin, 2010, p. 13). THE FUTURE (2005-PRESENT): The artist-teacher engages in critical conversations about democracy, race, gender, class, nation-states, globalization, freedom, and community (Denzin, 2010, p. 13). Key Visual Art Education Theories Modern: exploring discipline-based art education (DBAE): historical context; theoretical foundation (i.e., aesthetics, art criticism, art history, art production); pros/cons; theory to practice; etc. Postmodern: exploring visual culture art education (VCAE): historical perspective, theory of communications/social theory, pros/cons; theory to practice; etc. Class Discussion Facilitator: _____ (15% of overall grade for ART 130)
