Schools are a value in education that is why my views of a public democratic education will establish the beginning of significance in learning. Children will have values that will flourish and transcend into the growth of a united community due to the education they receive from school. The start of a school year is based on some standards that will lead to development of other growing values that will be distinguished by images that will give the students a visual understanding of what this democratic school stands for. First image demonstrates the start of a school that is based on principal that we want to promote in our hallways and classrooms. We want children to live in peace among each other and realize that they must have value …show more content…
The ability to speak to a person and understand them is a great way to establish relationships among the students and the teacher. So by communicating in such a diverse surrounding children and teachers will learn among each other and learn how to say things and how to act around each other since different cultures have different form of languages many children are coming from a non English background and being placed in a classroom that is just ran by English can be hard for a young child. This can cause the child to dislike school because they have no formal understanding of tone nation, which can cause a child to feel as if the teacher is yelling at the child due to the lack of understanding one another. That is why speaking and maintaining a home language has been asserted to be a basic human right of minority students and their families (Wang, 2009). That is why there will be group discussions based on different cultures for a perspective of history. Instead of learning from a different culture based on food and holidays we will get a source of language learning and history such as traditions. Another thing we must be mindful about communication is that it can be hard, which was something Dewey had come a crossed with, that is why people have to be tolerant of diverse views and need to have the desire to learn from others whose values and ethics differ from their own. …show more content…
Instead of focusing on limiting art and only establishing it a certain day of the week the children will have at least an hour to develop and expand their views on art children will be exposed to artist and then they will work in a group activity that will cause the children to interact and communicate their own artistic expression and thoughts on what they could create based on what they learned about the artist and the movement they sprouted from. Art enables a person to experience “complete interpenetration of self and the world of objects and events”(Dewey 2009, 178), contributing to shared action and values that strengthen understanding of diverse perspectives on life and living. It will also allow students to learn based on discovery and curiosity causing them to get a different perspective allowing students to combine their personal experiences to the new acquiring knowledge they will be receiving by the teachers. By incorporating art in the classrooms students are learning to think based on a multiple perspective since art can be seen through many views causing group discussion as a whole class causing a flow of different thoughts and opinions. There is never an end to the meaning of a work of art, just as learning from diverse group is continuous (Dewey 2009, 179) which just demonstrates the importance art will establish a
Do you ever just sit back and wonder how many images run through your brain everyday and thinking back on that how many of those were images from our society’s pop culture? With our ever growing technology and media of our society, children are constantly being exposed to visual stimuli. Paul Duncum, a professor of art education, studies how these stimuli not only affect our students and children but also how we can incorporate them into the art classroom in an effective way. In this paper I will illustrate to you the life and work of Paul Duncum. I will be talking about Duncum’s contributions to art education, his teaching philosophy, and how I can use his beliefs and teachings in my future as an art educator but first I would like to give you some background on Paul Duncum.
Rhys Southan’s essay “Is Art a Waste of Time?” is about art and if it can really help people who are suffering or is it just better to hand over your money. In Yo-Yo Ma’s essay “necessary Edges: Arts, Empathy, and Education” he focuses more on art being used as educational purposes to essentially create more innovative/empathetic people. Instead of focusing so much on STEM, the author states that we should incorporate art too. Although some people might say art does not play a role in making the world a better place. I believe it can by bringing awareness to different social issues. Also, if we incorporate art at a young age it can teach kids to be open minded and happier people.
Just because other perspectives are incorporated in the classroom, this doesn’t mean that everyone will become more understanding and appreciative of other cultures. When multicultural practices have rigorous standards, allow the advancement of social communications with other cultures, and allow the advancement social justice concepts both inside and outside of the classroom, this is when students will become more appreciative of other cultures (Ladson-Billings, 1995, p.162).
This will then cause the child to act out therefore, causing the teacher to have to punish him/her. Furthermore, there is an innumerable amount of stress at home from the parent’s behalf as they are not able to help their children and for some, cannot afford the help. It is not just about being able to utilize an effective communication in the learning condition that is at stake, a child’s self-confidence and sense of self in society will be sabotaged. The child will face difficulties in making friends, as they may not be able to communicate in that child’s language, therefore eventually causing the child to go for play therapy. Furthermore, teachers end up getting frustrated as they are not able to enhance a child’s knowledge and improve them socially due to the fact that the child is incapable of understanding what is being said to
In education today, art studies are not often viewed as a priority for students and they very frequently get cut from school’s curriculum due to a lack of proper funding. Howeve...
Within my placement we had children from lower and middle class, and also a few higher class children. This allowed me to see how different classes have different language skills. A child from a low class family would use broken English, as they came from an area which used a lot of slang, and wouldn’t speak in full sentences. Where as those brought up middle class areas, have stronger English skills and are able to communicate their needs more effectively. So when they mix, some children can find it difficult to understand other children, which could discourage them from
Art can be used to raise scores in every subject, “Students who took four years of art classes scored 91 points higher on their SAT exams than those who took half a year or less. Multiple studies also confirmed that there is a correlation between art engagement and students’ other achievements.” (Valeriya Metla) Even with the research linking art and better grades some educators think that it is more worth while to only focus on the core classes because it is more important to fund what is being tested than to help raise children who are creative.
Art Education is not always valued in school settings. Although some may see it as an unnecessary use of school funding, there are many who believe it is beneficial to students in more ways than one. There are many different studies that have been conducted to test the effects that art education has on school-aged children. Some studies have proven that art education can help students to improve in other academic areas. In a journal article from Ohio State University’s “Theory in Practice,” Karen A Hamblen states, “There are linkages between art learning and learning in other subjects areas and that art study can promote creative behaviors, critical thinking skills, and academic achievement.” It has also been found that the arts can teach children better self-regulatory strategies, and even foster more confidence and self-efficacy in school which relates to confidence in academics. Overall, art education in schools has been very beneficial and has proven to ignite creativity, confidence, critical thinking skills, and academic achievement in students.
In today’s society anything can be considered “Art”. From the great sounds of a symphony, to the architecture of a modern structure, or even an elephant painting with its trunk, art is what the viewer perceives it to be. Individuals will always agree or disagree with the message behind a certain piece of art, as pieces can be offensive to some, but beautiful to others. Some argue that funding the arts in school is a waste of money, time, or a combination of both, but the benefits outweigh the negatives by far, due to a variety of reasons.
The creation of art, music, dance, sporting activity and literature should be made a fundamental part of every school 's pre-K to 12th grade curriculum. The creation art it’s very important for children from their early age, a lot of benefits children can do and learn through art. A lot of benefits they can receive:
Art history is also a component of art education. This component includes teaching children ...
Language plays an important part in our lives, for children this is a critical time for them to learn how they can use language to communicate effectively from the moment they learn through school and into adulthood. While a child goes through school they are exposed to Standard English, but there are diversities that appear in the classroom, for example culture plays a part in language development. Gee and Hayes (2011) stated that there are many things that language can be including; a set of rules, a cognitive experience, a social tool or an object, but overall language is something that changes based on culture and social context. Acknowledging and accepting diversity in the classroom in relation to language and language learning is important to ensure children can communicate effectively with others.
...l K-12 but if they cannot be , then they should be integrated into the other subjects. Without art in schools it could hurt a child’s early and late deployment. Art integration has shown that it helps with creating ideas, thinking with a new mind set, and process new challenges that they will face as they grow and see things that they have not seen yet. Many people believe that art integrated with the other subjects would not help students I disagree with that, art can help with many subjects and help students understand them.
Sashi’s daughter did not want her to go to her parent-teacher conference because her daughter felt embarrassed that her mom could not speak English. Sashi was then able to build a connection with her daughter’s teacher because he was able to speak Hindi with her. In the textbook, “Foundations for Multilingualism in Education,” it states that, “Multiple languages and the absence of one common language will undermine political unity and cohesiveness” (de Jong, 2011, p. 39). Although this quote is referring to unity in America and using English to become a national community, I think that this also refers to smaller communities as well. Sashi felt distance between the parents and her because she could not express herself to them in English. Sashi did not feel comfortable in the school community until the teacher was able to speak Hindi with her. This also shows how parents that do not know English too well, may feel when they come into a parent-teacher conference in school. Educators need to be able to accommodate parents the best that they can because it is important for parents to be a part of a child’s
As a teacher language is the most important tool in order to support student learning. The book Elementary Classroom Management by Kerry Williams discusses how language is an important tool to use “language can be a powerful vehicle for activating thought, and as teachers we need to be aware of the role it is playing” (ref pg. 196). The use of words and tone that the teacher uses to the students is significant in the behaviour of students. For example if a student is displaying
