2 "The act of representation is more of a dialogue than a
monologue, more of a conversation than a lecture" (1983). With the
arts, children learn to see sophisticated We want our children to
have basic skills. But they also will need sophisticated cognition,
and they can learn that through the visual arts. Quality over

University.

3 In, The Arts and the Creation of Mind (2002), Elliot Eisner,
professor of education and art at Stanford University, writes
Experience is central to growth because experience is the medium of
education. Education, in turn, is the process of learning to create
ourselvesWork in the arts is not only a way of creating
performances and products; it is a way of creating our lives by
expanding our consciousness, shaping our dispositions, satisfying
our quest for meaning, establishing contact with others, and
sharing culture. (p. 3)
Slide 4
Connecting Visual and Verbal Literacy Speak and write with
appropriate Use of Art Formalisms: When you talk about art,
consider how the elements and principles of art and design are
deployed to communicate. Elements are parts: (lines, shapes,
colors, forms, textures, spaces, value, etc.). Principles apply to
the whole. (rhythm, balance, proportion, emphasis, and unity). In
speaking and writing, we will pair elements and principles, using
word phrases like value + contrast for example. Or, we could use
rhythmic + line or movement.

Historical and Cultural Literacy Students will interpret
historical and contextual connections: Learn to analyze the
importance of artistic technologies & techniques. For example,
in15 th Cent Germany the wood block print and engravings did as
much as printing press to communicate Western Religion to the
intended audience. On the following slide, compare the combined
religious, literary, and artistic impact of contemporaries, Martin
Luther and Albrecht Durer

Art History: Art History: How old is it? Why is it important to
know; and so what then? How old? (4 types of chronological
evidence): 1) physical evidence (dating the materials); 2)
documentary record (a dated written account with it) 3) visual
evidence (period clothing and decorative arts) 4) stylistic
evidence (the way the art looks; the art historians special area of
professional expertise is often personally biased) What is a style,
also called a movement: Period style Period style refers to the
characteristics that unify an artistic manner of approach that is
repeated and refined across a culture or a time. Regional style,
Regional style, sometimes associated with provenance, refers to
where a certain group of art works come from geographically
