Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation proposes to understand how the goals and theories of special education, art education, and the learning sciences intersect in a visual arts class for students with significant disabilities. Art teachers often have caseloads of hundreds of students, including many with special needs, yet arts-based resources for teaching students with severe disabilities are very limited in both number and depth (Loesl, 2012). There is extensive research in the visual arts, the learning sciences, and special education, yet very little of that research examines how these areas intersect, support or contradict each other. For students with disabilities, art-making experiences may be as beneficial if not more so than for their peers (Loesl, 2012), hence the need for studies such as this. This study examines learning both in and through the arts, considering what learning objectives are most relevant and valuable for these students, and how the necessary modifications and accommodations are made to maximize meaningful learning. The art-making processes of 34 students at a specialized school for students with significant disabilities were observed and documented, and data was collected and analyzed in an effort to answer the following three research questions: What do students learn in this self-contained specialized art class? What does student learning in this setting suggest about the balance between predictable structure and open-ended opportunities for creativity development? What attributes of classroom context foster or inhibit learning in this setting? Data collection also included parent questionnaires, staff questionnaires, and teacher journaling and memos. Themes explored include physical and intellectual access to arts programming, instructional and contextual classroom strategies, and relational, behavioral, and communicational programming considerations. Choice making is explained as an essential step in the development of creativity and self-determination. A lens of distributed cognition was used to understand learning supported by assistive technologies, structured routines, support staff, and communication supports. While this study closely examines visual arts learning in this unique setting, I hope this research will provide insight into how to better provide arts access and opportunity for students with significant disabilities, enhancing learning, sensory exploration, creativity development, personal expression, and of quality of life.

This book was released on 2024-09-30 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition of Reaching and Teaching Students with Special Needs Through Art is written for art educators, special educators, and those who value the arts for students with special needs. It builds on teachers’ positive responses to the first edition, and now combines over 700 years of the educational experience of arts and special educators who share their art lessons, behavior management strategies, and classroom stories. The revised second edition provides updated chapters addressing students with emotional/behavioral disabilities, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, physical disabilities, and visual and hearing impairments. The newly revised second edition includes chapters on students with autism spectrum disorder, preschool students, and students experiencing trauma. All chapters have been updated to include current definitions and language, recommended teaching strategies, art lesson adaptations, behavior management strategies, and references to related chapters. Follow-up activities are provided for further insights into each group of students. A new summary chapter connects how the authors’ collaborations resulted in changes to two professional organizations. Since the first edition, many of the featured authors established the new Division of Visual and Performing Arts Education (DARTS) at the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) and earlier, formed a new National Art Education Association (NAEA) Interest group—Special Needs in Art Education (SNAE), now Arts in Special Education (ASE). This edition is ideal for preservice arts methods courses and education courses on accessibility and inclusion at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It continues to offer current yet proven best practices for reaching and teaching this ever-important population of students through the arts.

Download or read book A History of Disability and Art Education written by Claire Penketh and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-16 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on recent theoretical frameworks from critical disability studies and art education including normalcy, ableism, disability and Crip theory, this book offers an analysis of the conceptualisation of ability in art education and its relationship with disability. Drawing on the work of Cizek and Lowenfeld in Austria, Ruskin and Richardson in England and Dewey and Eisner in the United States, it critically examines the influence of ideas such as the dominance of vision and visuality; the emergence of psychological perspectives; the Child Art Movement; the implications of assessment regimes; and the relevance of art education as a critical social practice on the production of disability. Offering a sustained inquiry into the differential values attributed to learners and their work and the implications of this for framing our understanding of disability in art education, this book shows that although art educators have frequently advocated for the universal appeal and importance of art education, they have done so within historical contexts that have produced and determined problematic ideas regarding disability. It will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies, art in education, art history and education studies.

Download or read book Young Children and the Arts written by Carol Korn-Bursztyn and published by IAP. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young Children and the Arts: Nurturing Imagination and Creativity examines the place of the arts in the experiences of young and very young children at home and in out-of-home settings at school and in the community. There is great need for development of resources in the arts specifically designed to introduce babies and toddlers to participatory experiences in the visual arts, dance, music, and storytelling/theater. This book presents valuable guidelines for early childhood teachers, families, caregivers and community organizations. Young Children and the Arts presents a comprehensive approach to the arts that is aligned with early childhood developmentally appropriate practice and that combines an exploratory, materials-based approach with an aesthetic-education approach for children from birth to eight years of age. It addresses both how the arts are foundational to learning, and how teachers and parents can nurture young children’s developing imagination and creativity. The models presented emphasize a participatory approach, introducing young children to the arts through activities that call for engagement, initiative and creative activity. Additionally, Young Children and the Arts addresses the intersection of early childhood education and the arts—at points of convergence, and at moments of tension. The role of families and communities in developing and promoting arts suffused experiences for and with young children are addressed. Young Children and the Arts examines the role of innovative arts policy in supporting a broad-based early arts program across the diverse settings in which young children and their families live, work, and learn.
