Installation Art, Nature Art, Naive Art (Drawing) and Collage

1. How can an installation art piece  be used to teach an academic subject?

2. Why is nature's art a valid way of bringing attention to ecology?

3. Drawing enhances learning of language arts. Explain

4. A collage develops several skills while allowing children to be creative. Explain.

5. A class could begin with music and warm up. Students can be invited to get on their feet, get away from their desks and follow the professor's muscle groups - isolation warm up. 

In class, we added conscious breathing at the end of the warm up, we could also add self-affirmations,  meditation, mindfulness and relaxation techniques.

Why is this important for learners?   

 

6.  Name the various parts of a lesson plan.

7. What curriculum have we used in class as reference in the creation of our lesson plans?

8. Why is conceptual art important in the teaching of academic subjects?

9. In the article Drawing on an Outdated Theory by Jess Dorn, one finds the following quote:

It is sometimes said that our brain consists of a left hemisphere that excels in intellectual, rational, verbal, and analytical thinking and a right hemisphere that excels in sensory discrimination and in emotional, nonverbal, and intuitive thinking. 
 
However, in the normal brain, with extensive commissural interconnections, the interaction of the two hemispheres is such that we cannot dissociate clearly their specialized functions.

Why is the left brain/right brain theory counterproductive when teaching students how to draw?

10. Why should kids draw?

11. Which learning theory do you identify the most with and why?

12. Name the most important parts of a lesson plan according to the MDCPS' Curriculum. Explain why they are important?

Final Paper: Writing About the Arts

  1       Standing Up for Something You Believe In Mary Farlese             In 2015, Lin-Manuel Miranda, along with the talented cast and crew, opened “Hamilton” on Broadway. Immediately, the world was in awe of the biography-musical of American Founding Father, Alexander Hamilton. The musical follows the life of Hamilton, starting with the beginning of his involvement in the Revolutionary War until his death. The musical is completely sung and rapped, along with symbolic sets and dance moves to tell the story.

Although the play is not completely accurate, and many scenes and circumstances are exaggerated for dramatic effect, the show proves that music can help students learn history. The play features moments from different battles fought in
