When I was in college, DBAE was definitely emphasized, but elements and principles seem to be emphasized more with state standards. Like Pat, I would say I do more with art history and art production than the others. But, I don't think they should necessarily be equal.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11142817054375318711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813379638849611037.post-20544773745988117632011-09-04T06:44:02.755-07:002011-09-04T06:44:02.755-07:00Hey Pat!!

Since students are practicing counting, it is great for them to count out 8 strips and sort them by color different shades of the same color. <br /><br />As far as the discussion about art philosophies goes, It would be interesting to hear from other art teachers about how they approach curriculum. I start with lines and shapes with kindergarten students because it aligns with their curriculum, but I move away from that later in the year with projects designed around materials or books. <br /><br />With my older students, I try to do things that are fun and interesting to me....I get ideas from flickr or pintrest or blogs.Nellie Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04075085958362460963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813379638849611037.post-41562552812722464862011-09-02T19:59:01.740-07:002011-09-02T19:59:01.740-07:00Hey Nellie Mae,

Genious! I can't get over the fact that we art teachers are so similar in how we approach the elements and principles. I agree with what you said about the different art philosophies. I was taught the elements and pricniples method in college and discovered DBAE while trying to keep up with current info on art education. I selectively chose to use art history and art production from DBAE because of time limitations for class times and frankly, no kid wants to sit around and discuss aesthetics when he/she could be making a cool clay project instead! With only 45 minutes a week, (if we're lucky), kids want to find out about the project, ask questions on how to's and then start creating. Let the pie in the sky educational theorists come visit my classroom and see for themselves!<br /><br />:)PatPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07481951771573117224noreply@blogger.com
