Art Talk on Dr. Seuss: Theodor Seuss Geissel
Purpose:
The research you do for the art talk is an opportunity for you to engage in teacher research to prepare for developing a visual arts unit plan. You will want to discuss your ideas for your art unit plan with your mentor teacher before you select the content of your art talk. If you are taking this course during summer session you may want to create a unit plan for a specific range of grades such as P, K-2, 2-4 or 4-6. The first purpose of this assignment is to help you become acquainted with well-known historical and contemporary artists, periods in art history, art techniques and the art of diverse cultures. This is accomplished through the research that you do and your review of the research of your peers. The second purpose is to give you practice describing art and developing strategies that will motivate your students to look closely at works of art, think critically about what they see, and articulate what is seen. The third purpose is to create visuals that you can share with your students and colleagues. The fourth purpose is to use your research and images to develop an art experience for elementary students that is related to either the concept, subject matter, technique, or media, and to teach skill development while connecting the art experience to the lives of children and to a thematic unit of study. Ask yourself, “What do I hope my students will learn about art through these experiences?”
