I would consider myself pretty good at using technology when it comes to things outside of art. I have never really been interested in creating art virtually, let alone how to even do it. However, though this course I not only experiment with new technology, but also saw how you could implement it into a classroom.
1. Weebly.com (New) 2. Wix.com (New) 3. Photoshop 4. Cavana.com 5. 360 Degree Camera (New) 6. Adobe Premier (New) 7. Adobe Animate (New) 8. Google Classroom 9. Lino 10. VoiceThread (New) I think that one of the best technologies I learned how to use this semester was both the 360 degree camera and Adobe Premier. The reason why I enjoyed this so much is because I believe it has unlimited possibilities. You could use the camera to capture an event or space, or you can use it like how we did in the data visualization and make it into a work of art. I also believe that grasping the general tools of Adobe Premier was pretty easy, and that I would be able to teach it to a group of students. One of the hardest new technologies we worked with this semester was Adobe Animate. While I believe that my final animation came out looking OK, I don't think I got an amazing grasp of how to properly use it. I felt as if I just kept doing things that resulted in the process becoming harder. I think the experience tested my patience in addition to making me realize that I will never work in animation. Find a moment in the video that reminds you of an experience you have had. How has this experience impacted you on a larger scale? Was it a positive or negative experience?For our data visualization project we are going to focus on beauty standards, specifically for women in the United States. We are going to use one continuous clip of people walking around the gallery. Then we will add clips of not only of people online, but ourselves (myself, Caroline and Maggie) putting on and taking off makeup. The videos will replace the artworks on the wall. We will speed up this videos to show the contrast of the normal pace of the gallery of and the fast pace of the videos on the wall. This can help show the contrast of the way women are judged compared to other aspects of our culture. Overtop of the video ( as audio ) we are going to put together a poem/spoken word about the message we are trying to convey. - we will draw inspiration from the letters.
One concept that I found interesting, and know my eighth grade self would also like, is the idea of creating your own superpower. I have taken inspiration for this idea from a project that I did in a sculpture class this past semester. I would like my web quest to explore how students would add some sort of apparatus to their body in order to give them a "non human" quality. I believe this would not only be interesting for the student themselves, but also interesting to watch how their peers intemperate the same project. This ties into my last two projects because it helps children come up with their own individual thoughts.
FIVE THINGS I WANT MY FUTURE STUDENTS TO LEARN
LANDMARKS IN MY LIFE My Mother: My mom has been a big part of my life in a variety of different ways. She is a successful women in a male dominated workforce. Because of this, she has taught me that being self confident and being your own boss is the best way to be successful. Even though she wouldn't consider herself as "artistically talented", she has always motivated me when it came to me pursuing a career in the arts. I would contribute much My High School Art Room: I was very fortunate in the art education I received during my time in high school. It was a large, open, naturally lit room. My art teacher has been one of my biggest sources of inspiration and she was one of the reasons I became interested in art education. LOCATING Self as Teacher By the year 2030 I would like to have a masters in Art Education and be teaching a fine arts class to students at the college level. I will encourage students that making a career out of the arts is possible, even if others have discouraged them previously I will teach students who are passionate about art and wish to further their education My classroom will be a large open space that I can manipulate to create different learning environments My students will have access to large tables and easels I will have a verity of materials that will allow them to create in any way they see fit My classroom will have large widows to allow natural light in and make the space feel open I will push students to create outside of their comfort zone while still maintaining their own artistic style My students will know that the things they learn in my classroom can be translated into other subjects and situations I wish to be a resource to my students, not just their professor I have created and animation using Adobe Animate to make a visual representation of my art teaching philosophy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jPEAKmPxJ0 USE OF TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM I am someone who doesn't necessarily consider themselves as "tech savvy". You could say that it is due to personal preference, or the fact that I wasn't necessarily exposed to different forms of technology in grade school. I am still trying to conceptualize the idea behind 3D printing, that you can create in image online and have in come to life in front of you. I feel as if for me personally, I am some what closed minded when it comes to using technology in the classroom. I grew up using paints, markers, and crayons, and in my mind that is still one of the best ways to cultivate creativity. However, being a teacher in the 21st century, I will need to be open to these new technologies being implemented into the classroom. My students will have grown up with these new technologies and it only makes sense to allow them to experiment with them. Carolyn Arosell and Maggie Higgins
Art Education 322 Encounter Power of Individual Thought 9/12/18 Introduction: The purpose of this encounter is to highlight the importance of individuality and creativity in art education. Through this exercise, we hope to provide people with the tools to generate unique perspectives and have the ability to communicate them to their peers. With this encounter you will be able to facilitate a conversation that is meaningful and driven by one’s own creative ideas. In this specific encounter, the works done by Carrie Alter. However, any piece of artwork could suffice for this activity. Materials: -Single sheets of paper -Art making materials (markers, crayons, colored pencils, graphite pencils, etc.) Procedure: 1. Have members of the class congregate around the pieces you are planning to discuss. (In this case, the Carrie Alter pieces.) 2. Pass out one sheet of paper to each person and set materials in a way that is accessible to everyone. 3. Ask the class to look and evaluate what part of the piece speaks or influences them the most. (Some examples of possible responses could be color, line, shape, texture, movement, subject, etc.) 4. After the class has taken a minute to think, have them write down their response to the previous question one either top or back of their paper. 5. Instruct each student to now create a piece of art that also illustrates what they found inspiring in the original work they observed. This does not have to have anything to do with the original piece, but rather creating their own unique work in response. 6. Give each student 10-15 minutes (or however long believe is appropriate) to create their responses. 7. When everyone has competed their drawings, have them rejoin in a group and use the following prompts to help facilitate a discussion. Discussion Prompts: -Does anyone wish to share what the most influential aspect of the original work was and why you chose to focus on it? -How were you able to use this aspect when creating your own unique piece? -Did you find it easier or harder to create a work from scratch when you had something to go off of? -Why is it do you think people view different aspects of the work as inspirational? -Is there anyone else in the group that chose a similar inspiration, but has an entirely different outcome? Closing: The purpose of this encounter is to highlight the power of individual thought and creating meaningful conversations. Different views and ideas are what makes art and life exciting. It is important for you as an artist to be able to take inspiration and transform it into your own original thoughts, while it is also important to value the interpretations of others.
