VISUAL LITERACY: Art
K-5
Using art history topics, these art discussions challenge students to ask questions and look deeper at not only the art but hopefully the visual world outside the classroom. Talks can be about various periods or artists, depending on the curriculum. Based on the AIC teaching methods and Stages of Aesthetic Development, by Abigail Housen.
Topics include but are not limited to:
Environmental Art: Andrew Goldsworthy
Architecture: Frank Lloyd Wright
American Art: Ivan Albright
Folk Art: American Quilts
American Art: Horace Pippin
Impressionism: various artists
European: Bernat Martorell’s St. George and the Dragon
In addition, I am happy to consider any requests for specific art or architecture subjects.
Note:These are discussions, not lectures and there is no studio art project.
