TEP-5130: The Arts in Culture and Learning

This course is designed to enable candidates to understand the role of art, artists, and culture in teaching children in a multicultural society. Candidates are introduced to interpretive models for understanding the role of art in building culture, particularly major cultural groups represented in California. Candidates learn how to integrate artistic methods into all disciplines by providing culturally-responsive instruction based on the Visual and Performing Arts Framework adapted to the needs of diverse students. Candidates will engage in direct art making activities, reflective writing and discussion, and attend an Evening for Educators Program at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in order to better understand these strategies and processes and use them effectively in an elementary and middle school classroom. Music and its role in the classroom will also be addressed. The instructors of this course and TEP 510 Science: Discovery Teaching, Action Learning will coordinate several of the assignments culminating in an integrated thematic unit.
