This course explores the four major art forms in order for teacher candidates to more fully understand and be able to use them throughout the curriculum. The course offers skills and experiences needed in using the arts to design and enhance elementary-school curriculum. It provides creative methods, techniques, and materials for teaching the visual arts, music, dance and drama as well as ways to integrate them with other subject areas. Teacher candidates have opportunities to work together and find ways to think about and plan lessons to use the arts in the classroom. Teacher candidates are required to observe art lessons in P-8 classroom settings to extend their understanding about ways to incorporate the arts into their teaching. It is hoped that teacher candidates will be inspired by this course to advocate for the use of the arts on a school-wide basis.
