It is an attitude of spirit, a state of mind - one which demands for its own satisfaction and fulfilling a shaping of matter to new and more significant form. To feel the meaning of what one is doing and to rejoice in that meaning, to unite in one concurrent fact the unfolding of the inner emotional life and the ordered development of material external conditions - that is art (Dewey, 1919). iii Certification I, Gai Maree Lindsay, declare that this thesis, submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the award of Doctor of Philosophy, in the Faculty of Social Sciences – School of Education, University of Wollongong, is wholly my own work unless referenced or acknowledged.

  • 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.

  • Discover the Impressionist Technique with Claude Monet
    Published on L'atelier Canson (https://www.cansonstudio.com) Home > Discover the Impressionist technique with Claude Monet Return to article list [1] Discover the Impressionist technique with Claude Monet Create like famous artists [5] Rate this article Rate ? After having discovered the technique of the Impressionists and their understanding of time, the children will learn to develop their sensitivity and create emotion in the manner of Claude Monet. Using this sheet, discover one of the leaders of the Impressionist movement: Claude Monet. After having discovered the technique of the Impressionists and their understanding of time, the children will learn to develop their sensitivity and create emotion in the manner of Monet. Painting in the style of the Impressionists is being able to find the sense of freedom that guided this group of dissidents. It's submitting oneself to contours without being trapped. The idea is also to give free rein to colour, material and texture. An exciting composition game for all ages! Historic period: 19th century - Impressionism. Claude Monet was a French painter born in Paris on the 14th November 1840 and died in Giverny on the 5th December 1926. Directly linked with the origins of Impressionism with his canvas "Impression, sunrise", Claude Monet went on to dominate this movement that introduced modernity to art in the 19th century. Nicknamed the "Raphael of water" by Manet, he left behind an immense body of work. Context and analysis of the ?uvre Context: At the end of the 19th century, a small group of young painters who broke away from the conventions of traditional painting gathered in private workshops to give free rein to their imagination and desire to create something different.
