ELEMENTARY ART CURRICULUM GUIDE v CONTENTS vi ELEMENTARY ART CURRICULUM GUIDE PROGRAM OVERVIEW AND RATIONALE Section I Program Overview and Rationale ELEMENTARY ART CURRICULUM GUIDE 1 PROGRAM OVERVIEW AND RATIONALE 2 ELEMENTARY ART CURRICULUM GUIDE PROGRAM OVERVIEW AND RATIONALE Purpose and Rationale Purpose The elementary art curriculum is based on the Foundation for the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Education Curriculum, which provides the framework for arts education and reflects research, theories, and classroom practice. This guide, which serves as a practical framework for art curriculum, is to be used as a resource for learning and teaching. It provides guidelines upon which teachers, administrators, students, and others working collaboratively in the learning community should base decisions about learning experiences, instructional techniques, and assessment strategies. This curriculum describes learning experiences for Grades 4, 5, and 6 that cumulatively provides opportunities for learners to develop knowledge, skills, and attributes they need to express their ideas, understandings, and feelings through art. The guide reflects an integrated view of learning in and through art. Learning in art is focused on creativity and artistry, where learning through art is about using art and the creative process as a method for students to learn about other curriculum subjects. Diagram of outcomes Statements of learning outcomes provide the framework for design and (EGL, GCO, KSCO, SCO) development of curriculum. In addition to general curriculum outcomes on pages 30 and 31. (GCO), this document provides key stage curriculum outcomes (KSCO) for the end of Grade 6, and specific curriculum outcomes (SCO) for Grades 4, 5, and 6. Rationale Education in art is essential. Human experience is ordered in various ways, including kinesthetically, musically, numerically, verbally, and visually. Students need to experience and practice recognizing and understanding the relations between these areas of human experience Education in art helps if they are to gain the optimal benefit from education. Education in art students become selective helps students become selective and discriminating in their judgements and discriminating in their and improve their understanding of their environment. judgements and improve their understanding of their visual When schools provide suitable and imaginative art programs that environment. combine the disciplines of intellectual activity with physical skills in creative problem solving, they are supporting the individual growth of students and are contributing to the development of their personalities. Students who participate in successful art programs gain a knowledge of art and its role in human interaction, and develop an understanding and appreciation of the arts of other cultures, both historical and contemporary. Students learning art must develop basic skills and acquire a working knowledge of the fundamentals and history of art. Both facets lead to worthwhile art experiences, which incorporates the satisfaction of achievement and the understanding of the creativity of others. ELEMENTARY ART CURRICULUM GUIDE 3 PROGRAM OVERVIEW AND RATIONALE Contexts for Learning and Teaching Six Key Features of 1. This art curriculum is defined in terms of outcomes. this Elementary Art The identification of outcomes clarifies for students, teachers, parents, Curriculum and administrators the specific expectations of what students should know and value as a result of their learning in art. 2. This art curriculum emphasizes the importance of students’ active participation in all aspects of their learning. This curriculum engages students in a range of purposeful and inventive experiences and interactions through which they can develop the processes associated with creating, contextualizing, reflecting on, and responding to their own and others’ artwork. 3. This art curriculum provides a basis for assessing learning in and through the arts. This curriculum engages students in analytical, critical, and reflective thinking about their learning in and through art. The use of a variety of assessment strategies will help teachers address students’ diverse backgrounds, learning styles and needs, and will provide students with multiple opportunities to demonstrate their progress toward achievement of the designated learning outcomes. This document includes suggestions for a collaborative assessment process that involves all participants and allows learners opportunities to celebrate their successes and to learn from their multiple attempts. A comprehensive assessment process is a powerful tool to enhance student learning. 4. This art curriculum is designed to nurture the development of all students. This curriculum recognizes that learners develop and learn at different rates and in different ways. In recognizing and valuing the diversity of students, the learning environment should allow for a range of learning preferences, teaching styles, instructional strategies, and learning resources. Life is shaped by issues of social class, race, gender, and culture. Learning contexts and environments must affirm the dignity and worth of all learners. 5. This art curriculum emphasizes the personal, social, and cultural contexts of learning and the power that art making has within these contexts. This curriculum promotes self-esteem and self-understanding, as well as appreciation of the world’s social and cultural contexts. Students are encouraged to recognize the power of creativity in constructing, defining, and shaping knowledge; in developing attitudes and skills; and in extending these new learnings in social and cultural contexts. Since art making is an extension of personal identity and a defining feature of culture, it is critical that the curriculum respects, affirms, understands, and appreciates personal and cultural differences in all aspects of learning. 4 ELEMENTARY ART CURRICULUM GUIDE PROGRAM OVERVIEW AND RATIONALE 6. This art curriculum provides a framework for making connections with other subject areas. This curriculum recognizes the importance of students working in and through art. As students learn in the arts, they develop specific skills, understandings, and confidence necessary for self-expression. As they learn to make connections with other subject areas by learning through the arts, they are engaged in a kaleidoscope of learning experiences that enables the development of personal, social, and perceptual skills. Artistic Development Creating images is a human activity which begins early in life. Scribbling Stages precedes image making in much the same way as babbling precedes speech. Children expand and build on their abilities as they mature, progressing through a series of stages of artistic development where sets of common characteristics can be identified for age groups. As with all developmental stages, children proceed through them at different rates and often exhibit characteristics of one or more stages at the same time. After years of studying childens’ drawings, Viktor Lowenfeld (1947) identified six general stages of emotional and mental development. From Kindergarten to Grade 6, students usually proceed through at least three development stages. • Preschematic

The influence of Japanese art is a phenomenon that is now called Japonisme , and it spread widely throughout Western art. It is quite hard to make a clear definition of Japonisme because of the breadth of the phenomenon, but it could be generally agreed that it is an attempt to understand and adapt the essential qualities of Japanese art. This thesis explores Japanese influences on British Art and will focus on four artists working in Britain: the American James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903), the Australian Mortimer Menpes (1855-1938), and two artists from the group known as the Glasgow Boys, George Henry (1858-1934) and Edward Atkinson Hornel (1864-1933).

Just as Matisse created alongside Diaghilev, Stravinsky, Massine, and Muelle, there are numerous players that contributed to this thesis. First and foremost, I want to thank my thesis advisor Dr. Heidi Näsström Evans for her continual commitment to this project and her knowledgeable guidance from its conception to completion. Julia Burke, Textile Conservator at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, was instrumental to gaining not only access to the costumes for observation and photography, but her energetic devotion and expertise in the subject of textiles within the realm of fine arts served as an immeasurable inspiration.

  • Imaginários Da Paisagem
    UNIVERSIDADE DE LISBOA FACULDADE DE BELAS-ARTES IMAGINÁRIOS DA PAISAGEM Armando Sales Luís Doutoramento em Belas-Artes Especialidade em Pintura 2016 RESUMO Através desta tese propus-me refletir e tentar compreender e analisar a minha obra artística, nas suas componentes temáticas e formais, utilizando o conhecimento proporcionado pelas disciplinas componentes dos Estudos de arte, sobretudo a História da arte, a Estética e a Psicologia da forma. Sendo a natureza, a temática predominante das minhas obras plásticas, considerei apropriado estruturar esta tese em torno desta temática. Para tal, procurei definir o conceito de paisagem e procurei apresentar a obra de autores pertencentes à História da arte e à arte contemporânea, que simultaneamente, utilizaram esta temática e me ajudaram a construir e definir a minha pintura. Procurei, também, analisar a minha linguagem plástica, nas suas diferentes componentes, cor, forma, espaço, pincelada, composição. Palavras-chave: Natureza; Linguagem plástica; Paisagem. i ABSTRACT Through this thesis I propose to reflect upon and try to understand and analyze my artistic work in its formal and thematic components, using the knowledge provided by the art studies disciplines, especially Art History, Aesthetics and Form Psychology. Being Nature the predominant theme of my fine art works, I considered appropriate to structure my thesis around this theme. To this end, I tried to define the concept of landscape and to present the work of authors belonging to art history and contemporary art which used this theme in their art and who helped me build and define my painting. Additionally, I aimed to analyze my plastic language in its different components: color, shape, space, stroke and composition.

  • Henri Matisse : 64 Paintings [By] Lawrence Gowing
    Henri Matisse : 64 paintings [by] Lawrence Gowing Date 1966 Publisher Distributed by Doubleday Exhibition URL www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/1867 The Museum of Modern Art's exhibition history— from our founding in 1929 to the present—is available online. It includes exhibition catalogues, primary documents, installation views, and an index of participating artists. MoMA © 2017 The Museum of Modern Art matisse 64 pages, 67 illustrations (8 in color) $4.95 HENRI MATISSE: 64 PAINTINGS by Lawrence Gowing In this mid-century view of the painting of Henri Matisse, Lawrence Gowing, Keeper of British Painting at the Tate Gallery, London, examines the connections between the successive stages and styles of the artist's work. He bril liantly describes masterpiece after masterpiece, so that even the reader familiar with these paintings will see in each of them more than ever before; and he traces perceptively and boldly the influences that this great pioneer has had upon modern art throughout the world. Although Matisse was as well grounded as any old master in the traditions of visual art antecedent to his own, nevertheless from the heights of his imagination he looked forward with eagle eye to present-day enthusiasms and innovations. Altogether enchanted with the world that he chose to depict—cubicles of interior space, windows effus ing Mediterranean sunshine, beautiful women in repose, flowers and fruit, beflowered wallpaper and bright fabrics —he took paint itself as his principal subject matter: razor- sharp lineaments, flat colors that generate light and energy through thrilling combinations and evocative contrasts. An indefatigable worker, Matisse said, "Work is paradise." Sketch after sketch he evaluated and discarded; detail after detail he practiced to perfection, aiming at truth and power.
