Process
Researched Art and Content Integration
Planned a lesson based on Indiana content standards
Created a sample for use in the classroom
ResearchMarshall:
Depiction-Having students depict a subject from observation. Allows students to see how artists observe and record the world around them. Making connections across subjects enhances learning. –Marshall
GoldburgArt allows for the exploration of a subject in a deep, meaningful way.Students learn about, with, and through the arts.
ResearchSmith
Focuses on drawing, but can be applied to other art forms
Observation-learning to look
Composition-placement of objects
Oreck:Art allows students to explore and make discoveries.
Art should be a part of every subject, not something separate.
Models
Use of models
Integration of art and science
Compare and contrast object and model
Use of models to develop learning
Standards1.6.1 Observe and describe that models, such as toys, are like the real things in some ways but different in others.
2.1.5 Demonstrate the ability to work with a team but still reach and communicate one’s own conclusions about findings.
2.1.7 Recognize and describe ways that some materials — such as recycled paper, cans, and plastic jugs — can be used over again.
2.6.2 Observe and explain that models may not be the same size, may be missing some details, or may not be able to do all of the same things as the real things.
3.6.3 Explain how a model of something is different from the real thing but can be used to learn something about the real thing.
