  • Visual Arts – Specific Rules/Guidelines
    Visual Arts – Specific Rules/Guidelines VISUAL ARTS include many art forms that are visual in nature. The artist (student submitting entry) is a person who captures their own thoughts and ideas to create a visual piece of art. Accepted forms of visual art include: Collages, photographic collages (multiple photos cut/pasted), computer-generated image, design, drawing, painting, and printmaking. Non-accepted forms of visual art include: 3D artwork (artwork that is not flat on the surface). Reproductions or enlargements of another artwork. Reflect on the 2020-2021 Theme: I Matter Because… An explanation of the art form might be a useful addition to the artist statement. Whether an entry displays use of formal technique or a simple approach, it will be judged primarily on how well the student uses his or her artistic vision to portray the theme, originality and creativity. Copyright: Use of copyrighted material, including any copyrighted cartoon characters or likeness thereof, is not acceptable in any visual arts submission, with the following exceptions: • Visual artwork may include public places, well-known products, trademarks or certain other copyrighted material as long as that copyrighted material is incidental to the subject matter of the piece and/or is a smaller element of a whole. The resulting work cannot try to establish an association between the student and the trademark/business/material, or influence the purchase/non-purchase of the trademarked good. • Visual arts collages may include portions of existing copyrighted works, such as photographs, magazine clippings, internet images and type cut out of a newspaper, as long as those portions of copyrighted works are used to create a completely new and different work of art.

  • Teaching Visual Art with the Brain in Mind
    1 Teaching Visual Art with the Brain in Mind A thesis presented by Karen G. Pearson to the Graduate School of Education In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education In the field of Education College of Professional Studies Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts August 20, 2019 2 ABSTRACT Critical periods of perceptual development occur during the elementary and middle school years. Vision plays a major role in this development. The use of child development knowledge of Bruner, Skinner, Piaget and Inhelder coupled with the artistic thinking theories of Goldschmidt, Marshall, and Williams through and the lens of James J. Gibson and his ex-wife Eleanor J. framed the study. Sixteen 8-10-year-olds over eight one-hour weekly meetings focused on how they see and learn how to draw. The study demonstrated that the perception of the participants followed the development of the visual pathway as described in empirical neural studies. Salient features presented themselves first and then, over time, details such as space, texture, and finally depth can be learned over many years of development. The eye muscles need to build stamina through guided lessons that provide practice as well as a finished product. It was more important to focus on the variety of qualities of line, shape, and space and strategy building through solution finding and goal setting. Perceptual development indicators of how 8-10-year-old elementary students see and understand images will be heard from their voices. The results indicated that practice exercises helped participants build stamina that directly related to their ability to persist in drawing.

  • Preschool Teaching Staff 'S Opinions on the Importance Of
    c e p s Journal | Vol.5 | No4 | Year 2015 9 Preschool Teaching Staff’s Opinions on the Importance of Preschool Curricular Fields of Activities, Art Genres and Visual Arts Fields Tomaž Zupančič*1, Branka Čagran2, and Matjaž Mulej3 • This article presents preschool teachers’ and assistant teachers’ opinions on the importance of selected fields of educational work in kindergar- tens. The article first highlights the importance of activities expressing artistic creativity within modern curriculums. Then, it presents an em- pirical study that examines the preschool teachers’ and assistant teach- ers’ opinions on the importance of the educational fields, art genres, and visual arts fields. In research hypotheses, we presumed that preschool teachers find individual educational fields, individual art genres, and in- dividual visual arts activities to be of different importance; consequently, education in kindergarten does not achieve the requisite holism. The study is based on the descriptive and causal-non-experimental method. We have determined that the greatest importance is attributed to move- ment and language, followed by nature, society, art and mathematics. Within art genres, the greatest importance is attributed to visual arts and music and the least to audio-visual activities. Within visual arts, drawing and painting are considered to be the most important and sculpting the least. These findings can support future studies and deliberation on the possible effects on practice in terms of requisitely holistically planned preschool education. Keywords: curriculum, preschool education, preschool teachers, requisite holism, visual arts activities 1 *Corresponding Author.

Conway California State University, Monterey Bay The Benefits of Implementing Visual Arts for Elementary School Students 2 Abstract Walking into an elementary classroom you might have observed that visual arts have been consistently disappearing from elementary school classrooms. Visual arts curriculum is especially important in elementary schools because it helps students to fully understand concepts in other areas of their academics. This senior capstone will focus and discuss the many benefits of implementing visual arts into an elementary school classroom. Through the use of literature review and interviews with teachers. The findings reveal that when visual arts are implemented into elementary schools, they do indeed serve students well and have positive effects in all academic areas of elementary school students.

  • The Visual Arts in What Art Is by Joan Mitchell Blumenthal
    The Visual Arts in What Art Is By Joan Mitchell Blumenthal As the twentieth century progressed, those who believed that its art could not becom e more perverse or self- defeating were proved wrong by every charlatan or madman who claimed to be making or respond ing to art. If anything could be a remedy for the current tragic state of the arts, it would be the probing, insightful, and eminently read able analysis of the problem presented by L ouis Torres and Michelle Mard er Kam hi. Understanding that the advancing demise of the arts stems from a vacuum in the philosophical, creative, and critical spheres, the authors begin with a study of esthetic theory, looking into the question of what art has been considered to be historically, and how the task of defining art has been progressively abandoned in this century. At every step, they have been careful to elucidate the opinions of those thinkers whose work has merit, along with an adequate sampling of those whose thoughts are sh own to be clearly incorrect and contradictory. Definin g Wh at Art Is They orient much of their discussion around the definition and theories of Ayn Rand, not because she left an exhaustive study of the arts, nor even one that is faultless and totally consistent, but because her definition and many of her explanations are philosophically and psychologically fundamental, and can be extended—as the authors do throughout the book— to further illuminate the nature and spiritual function of art. After discussing the nature of definitions in general, Torres and Kam hi subject Rand’s definition , “‘ Art is the selective re-creation of reality according to an artist’s metaphysical value judgments’” (26), to detailed scrutiny (chapter 6).
