ART 304. Visual Art and the Child (1)

Prerequisites: ART 120/L; Restricted to students in the ITEP Freshman option program. Provides students with the opportunity to revisit visual art and apply their knowledge of this area to working with children in a school setting. Students extend and integrate their knowledge of visual arts foundation skills, concepts and ideas, based upon the Visual and Performing Arts Framework and the Visual and Performing Arts Content Standards for California Public Schools. Experiences include planning, teaching and assessing art lessons in field based settings. Students also engage in critical analysis and reflection to discover ways to guide children in both the creation of art and thoughtful appreciation of art.
