Product Description
Back Cover Text: If you are considering a career as a secondary art teacher and looking for fresh, imaginative ways to teach art, this book is for you. It presents information to help make a studio-based secondary school art program relevant and significant to teens, while giving the teacher some tools to help encourage an atmosphere conducive to making “brave” art. People who are willing to embrace mistakes as part of the creative process and message make brave art. It is based on personal knowledge that stems from BodySelf dialog and allows teens to focus on making-meaning, rather than producing-products. It advocates a curriculum that is based on relevant and stimulating experiences that will meet the needs of a 21st century society. “Brave Art & Teens” covers such specialized subjects as the difference between being a teacher vs. teaching, modern vs. contemporary times, product vs. process, right brain vs. left-brain, latent vs. dynamic leadership and sensing vs. intuiting. It teaches you about the specific learning developments that occur as humans progress in their ability to conceptualize, interpret, grow and create… the sort of behind-the-scenes stuff an art teacher should be aware of. It also features scores of invaluable strategies that will enable you to foster dialog, build group, present information and design classroom experiences. Information in this book comes from an author who has more than 20 years of teaching experience, making this book something that stems from the heart - not the podium. Other useful and practical topics include: * A Contemporary Art Primer * A Sacred Arts Primer * Classroom management tools * How to write an art teacher resume * How to present a teaching portfolio * Reasons to teach art * A “Fist Day” lecture * A variety of art experience suggestions * A chapter of studio reflection (critique) ideas * Compelling quotes * How to access intuition * Ways to foster creativity * How to support the fearful student * Tips for the student teacher * Preparing your resume and teaching portfolio * Tips about photographing your art * A corresponding website: www.braveart.info * And so much more!!!!
