38-6134 Methods of Teaching Arts and Humanities

Methods of Teaching Arts and Humanities explores the four major art forms in order for teacher candidates to better understand and be able to use them throughout the curriculum. The course offers skills and experiences needed in using 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 these art forms with other subject areas. Teacher candidates have opportunities to work together to find ways to conceptualize and plan lessons that use the arts in the classroom. 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.
