AETE308 Visual Arts and Literacy Integration for TeachersCOURSE DESCRIPTION
This course introduces diverse forms of visual art curricula that enhance the development of literacy for children in K-8 environments. In these curricula, visual arts, visual literacy, and verbal literacy are equal partners in developing meaning and expression for young people. Topics as: bookmaking for literacy development; observational drawing and writing; "painting with words" (i.e., poetry in many forms, text and image integration); and "picture my world" (in which literacy and photographic images are used as models for classroom practice and curriculum development). Through participatory activities, projects, and ideas from current educational research, participants integrate both visual and verbal forms of literacy across disciplines. ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

AETE309 Teaching Artists’ PortfolioCOURSE DESCRIPTION
Designed for art educators and teaching artists who desire a like-minded community engaged in art making, students in this course search for ongoing connections between creating and teaching. Classroom goals and teaching styles in direct relation to how artists experience making, viewing, and learning are considered. This course further supports teachers in using their own art making, personal sources of inspiration, and reactions to works of art, in teaching. Students work in self-selected media in an interdisciplinary environment. ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
