COURSES TAUGHT

Recent UIUC Courses ART 199, Art 299 - Art, Community, and Global Civil Society: The purpose of Art, Community, and Global Civil Society is to promote thoughtful inquiry about the nature of and manner in which art, cultural, and visual/aesthetic expressions convey and influence community life in the U.S., to consider how communities are impacted by globalizing tendencies, and to examine the goals and activities of local and global civil society within real and virtual communities. Conducted as an active-learning inquiry seminar, Art, Community, and Global Civil Society also functions as a technology-based, research intensive, creative lab. Course content is pursued through class small-group inquiry activities, class discussions of selected readings, studio explorations, independent student research projects, and student formal and informal presentations. Art 199 culminates in a student collaboratively designed technology-dependent research project on topics of students’ choosing and that emanates from course presentations, readings, discussions, and earlier research projects. Art 299 student research projects incorporate a month-long collaborative service-learning component in local arts-based community sites.

ARTS 299, ARTE 501 - Museums in Action: Engaging the Community: Taught both fall and spring semesters as a service learning course, and offered to both undergraduate and graduate students across the campus Museums in Action considers how contemporary research in museum interpretation and educational program development translate into meaningful practices. Students critically examine museum scholarly discourse and practices; how Krannert Art Museum engages culturally diverse audiences, and lead in the development and implementation of innovative approaches to museum tours and events. New educational outreach programming developed by students also explores how new media technologies can be incorporated into museum educational practices.

ARTE 302 - Organization of Public School Art Programs: The purpose of ARTE 302, our capstone undergraduate art education course, is to facilitate integration of knowledge and competencies articulated by the National Art Education Association, the Illinois State Board of Education, and the UIUC Council on Teacher Education into a framework for teaching art in a culturally diverse society; with particular interest in secondary educational contexts. Building on their professional experiences and artistic interests, students conduct research on contemporary youth, develop long term curriculum plans, lesson plans, and teaching resources for real-world teaching. Students also engage in a self-study of their own artistic/aesthetic development, develop a professional resume, and begin


to make preparations for their student teaching internships.

ARTE 402 - Artistic Development: Artistic Development, considers historical and contemporary perspectives on artistic development, emphasizing relationships between young people’s intellectual, aesthetic, artistic, moral, emotional, and cultural development and teachers' curriculum / instructional deliberations and approaches. Taught once a year and open to graduate and upper level undergraduate students, ARTE 402 facilitates a community of scholarly inquiry that facilitates student leadership, independent readings and research, and scholarly writing and presentation.

ARTE 501- Research and Writing for Publication: Taught for the first time in Fall 2008, and adapting editorial procedures utilized in publication of the journal Visual Arts Research, this course provides opportunities for students to examine contemporary research strategies and writing processes central to visual arts and aesthetic education, to define and develop their own research interests, to identify potential audiences for their research, and to participate in a community of scholarly inquiry through discussions, formal presentations, research, writing, and peer review. This course is appropriate for any student wishing to find out more about research traditions common to art/aesthetic education academic discourse, who desires to be part of an inquiry group, and who wish to refine their individual research projects, writing for publication, and formal presentation skills.

Other Recent Teaching and Courses

Undergraduate UIUC - Other undergraduate courses that I have developed and taught at UIUC include ARTE 202, Methods of Teaching Art (our entry level course for art education majors), ART 202 Elementary Art Methods (designed for Elementary Education majors); ARTED 203 Elementary Art Methods, 2-D; ARTED 205 Elementary Art Methods, 3-D; and ART 140 Art Appreciation for Elementary Education majors.

Graduate UIUC - In addition to teaching Curriculum Development in Art Education (one of our core graduate course requirements that I taught up to the early 2000s), I have developed and taught numerous on campus graduate courses over the past years (offered under our Special Topics rubric ARTE 501): Art, Culture, and Community; Technology in Art Education; Research Methods in Art and Aesthetic Education; Thesis Writing; Social Theory in Art; and Contemporary Approaches in Art.

Off Campus UIUC - My UIUC off campus courses offered in the greater Chicago and Peoria areas through the Division of Academic Outreach have included Comprehensive and Interdisciplinary Curriculum Planning in Art Education, Action


Research, Multicultural Education, Technology, and Service-Learning oriented course work designed specifically for real-world relevance and usefulness for professional K-12 teachers.

University of Florida Online Masters in Art Education Program – ARE 6148: Curriculum Development in Art Education; ARE 6641: Contemporary Issues in Art Education; ARE 6049: History of Teaching Art; and 6933: Globalization, Art, and Education. Courses engage historical and current research and issues relating to course topics, and utilize our Web-based Learning Management System interface for course content delivery, class discussions, assignment submission and sharing, instructor interaction and evaluation, and Skype and Adobe Connect for live video conferencing. ARE 6933: Globalization, Art, and Education, a course that I created for UF is drawn from the NAEA book (Globalization, Art, and Education) and utilizes Google Docs, Google Art Project, Flickr, Twitter, Facebook, Scoop.it, Vimeo/YouTube and student-created websites for collaboration and information sharing (in addition to our course web site). ARE 6933: Artistic Development, another course I developed and taught for UF utilizes Twitter, Facebook, Art Education 2.0, Scoop.it, Pinterest, student-created websites, and our course site for collaboration and information sharing.

Summer Teacher Institutes - Two-week summer teacher institutes that I have both taught in or lead include the "Florida Institute for Art Education" offered in north central Florida and southern Georgia, and the "Integrating the Arts Through Discipline-Based Art Education" Summer Teacher Institute offered in South Carolina.

South Carolina Governors School for the Arts. While serving as Chair of the South Carolina Governors School for the Arts, a multi-arts residential summer program for rising gifted and talented high school students, I also taught "Art in Context", an active-learning oriented art appreciation course focusing on understanding contemporary art of culturally diverse artists.
