Course

PK12-VASP

Visual Arts Specialist

Emphasizing an integrated, collaborative approach, this course aims to remove barriers to emerging technologies for a global vision to student learning.

To further develop instructional strategies, you will construct unit plans/courses to encourage student choice and voice as reflected in current curriculum practices and policies. Leadership skills are in the forefront as you continue to refine a personal visual arts philosophy. Engaging in self-directed learning will deepen the knowledge of visual arts production, processes and theories. This course promotes an on-line component and limited access to studio experiences.
