About This Blog
Intended Users:
For this online blog I decided to tackle ways to incorporate online resources and tools into art lessons. The blog is primarily geared toward teachers but includes questions for student discussion. Therefore, the blog can be used by students, teachers and those who are just curious about online art resources. However, as with any online resource it is encouraged that teachers preview all links before deciding if the lesson is appropriate for their classes. Some of the topics are intended for older students.
Purpose:
The purpose of the blog is to offer links to online resources and tools to students and teachers for use in art and art history classes. Blog entries will focus on one or more components of the Discipline Based Art Education model (DBAE). DBAE is centered on objectives in four areas, Art Production, Art History, Art Criticism, and Art Aesthetics. Lessons that incorporate all four of these areas meet most school system standards for balanced art education.
Entries in the blog will offer suggestions for classroom activities or questions for discussion and reflection and art vocabulary terms.
