2. Why teach Art?

3. History of Art Education in the US
Next
1960’s and 1970’s: The “arts in education” movement believes that art is an “experience” that can be achieved through process participation
and rejects art that is regimented. Federal and state funding for arts education increased and enrolment in high school art classes peaked.
1947: The National Art Education Association was founded. This is the leading professional membership organization exclusively for visual arts teachers, and
its mission is to advance visual arts education to fulfill human potential and promote global understanding ("National art education" )
1912: Alfred Stiegliz puts children’s artwork on display in his New York gallery, recognizing them as artists (Greenough, 2000)
1903:Binney and Smith introduced the first Crayola crayons in a box of eight colors after noticing a need for safe, high quality, and affordable wax crayons
(“Crayola”)
Early 20th Century: John Dewey experimented with a new approach called “Progressive Education.” He believed that art education was a foundational part
of curriculum because it developed creativity, self-expression, and an appreciation of the expression of others (Heilig, Cole & Angelica, 2010)
1883: The National Educational Association creates an art department that gives teachers ideas and guidelines to teach art in the classroom.
By the late 19th century, students learned to appreciate the arts through “Picture Study” and practiced hand-eye coordination through
drafting and drawing (Smith, 1996)
Art education in the United States has had both advancements and setbacks from the
Late 19th Century to the present

Next
2002: Congress passed No Child Left Behind which holds states accountable for English and math. Art is listed as part of the core curriculum,
but states are not required to report on instruction time or assessment data (Pederson, 2007)
1994: Congress passed the “Goals 2000: Educate America Act,” the first federal legislation to identify arts as part of the core curriculum (Goals
2000: Educate America Act, 1994)
1994: The National Endowment for the Arts and the Department of Education created the National Voluntary K-12 Standards for the Arts, the
first policy project of national scope (Heilig, Cole & Angelica, 2010)
1983: “A Nation at Risk: The Imperative for Educational Reform” is released by the Reagan administration and focused on science and math
curriculum to make American students as competitive as their international counterparts (Smith, 1996)
1982: The Getty Center for Education in the Arts created Discipline Based Art Education (DBAE), which focused on a
systematic and sequential program for studying art history, art criticism, aesthetics and art production. (Smith, 1996)

5. How is art taught? DBAE
• Discipline-Based Art Education (DBAE) is a comprehensive
art education approach that has four components:
– Production: Creating works of art
– History: Encountering the historical and cultural background of
works of art
– Aesthetics: Discovering the nature and philosophy of art
– Criticism: making informed judgments about art
• A goal of DBAE is to integrate the arts into other subjects
and to create a standardized evaluation process
• DBAE attempts to develop student’s ability to understand
and appreciate art using knowledge of theories and
contexts of art, and to respond to and create art

6. How is art taught? TAB
• Teaching for Artistic Behaviors (TAB) is a choice-based art
education approach
• Students are given a variety of materials and ample time
and space to respond to their own ideas and interests
through their artwork
– TAB art teachers often create “Centers” in the classroom for
different types of art. Ex. painting, drawing, printmaking, etc.
– TAB teachers usually instruct students in each of the types of
materials so they have basic knowledge of how to use them. In
TAB, teachers act as guides to student’s education
• TAB regards students as artists and encourages
independent thinking
• Students are assessed on their perseverance, planning,
experimenting, studio habits, and progress

One of three “centers” in Ms.
C’s art class at South Loop
Elementary. Students could
choose between painting,
drawing, and weaving.
A 2nd grade student’s
WOW piece. Ms. C had
students choose two
pieces per quarter that
they were proud of. They
were required to describe
their artwork, how they
made it , and where they
got the idea

8. Art Integration
Next
This poster integrates
the arts into a
Language Arts lesson.
Each picture
represents a type of
figurative language.
Often art teachers are expected to
integrate other subjects (math,
language arts, science) into their
lessons to reinforce the core subjects.
I believe that teaching other subjects
through the arts gets students more
excited about learning. But, we need
to be careful not to downplay the
importance of the arts in and of
themselves.

31. How do you define objectives?

32. How do you make an assessment
• Reference your objective; how will you
measure what you want students to learn?
• Self-grading rubrics are helpful
– Rubistar
– Other online tools
