Front 2

Multicultural Pluralism:

Back 2

-an incorporation of various cultures into an educational curriculum. -the art program given to students should be one that is open-minded, and helpful to students, so that they have a connectedness to their cultural backgrounds, to other people, and to other cultures.

Front 3

Art in the School:-Art Goal:

Back 3

To apply concepts in the fine arts and humanities to the appreciation of the aesthetic contributions by other cultures. -The new curriculum in art criticism and aesthetics requires analysis and interpretation, and it is another way to include higher-order cognitive processes in art. - Art education is needed to develop better-educated human beings, citizens who will value and evolve a worthy life. - The goal of education is to help students develop both their intellectual capabilities and their capacity to express their thoughts and feelings.

Front 4

A Qualitative Approach to Teaching Art:-

Back 4

Everyone can engage in art-making behavior - Art, on the other hand, is more akin to poetry, which like all fine art comes to life when it distills the essence of an experience in highly expressive and discriminative choices. - For qualitative teaching in art, however, this initial stimulation is not enough. The teacher also must guide the students as they express their responses from a preliminary drawing through to the finished product. - Children should be encouraged to evaluate their efforts in terms of the lesson’s instructional objectives, beginning with the initial sketch. If nothing is said about design, structure, composition, line, value, color, contrast, pattern, and other aspects of artwork, it is presumptuous to assume that student will develop their aesthetic awareness and artistic potential. - Without the teacher’s help, the average child’s art production, limited by abbreviated time schedules, tends to be cursory and sterile.

Pastels: Made from? Mixability? Surface?

Back 5

Oil or chalk-like coloring utensils; able to mix colors better, but not as fluid as paints. Paper requirements not necessary, but a rough tooth is best.

Front 6

Cray-Pas. Medium? Made from? Mixability? Surface?

Back 6

Oil pastel, wide range of colors, good mixing, high intensity of color. Semi-tooth paper is best.

Front 7

"Chalkies”. Medium? Made from? Mixability? Surface? ?

Back 7

Chalk-like pastel, limited range of colors, fair mixing, integration of color done best by smudging. Rough-tooth is best, in most cases.

Front 8

Tempra: Dries? Colors? Surface?

Back 8

Type of paint that dries quickly, but the variety of colors are somewhat limited. Rough tooth paper should be used, but any will do.

Front 9

Acrylic: Dries? Colors? Range? Surface?

Back 9

Type of paint that dries quickly, mixes better with other colors, and has a great range of variety. Rougher tooth should be used. Canvas should be used, but gessoed before use.

Gesso

Back 10

Preparation of plaster and glue used as a base for painting on canvas. Used for acrylics and oil paints.

Front 11

Oil paints: Dries? Mixes? Variety? Surface?

Monochromatic color scheme:

Back 12

Using the same color and its shades and tints, on a 2-dimensional color composition.

Front 13

Dichromatic color scheme:

Back 13

Using two colors, their respective shades and tints, on a 2-dimensional color composition.

Front 14

Trichromatic color scheme:

Back 14

Using three colors, their respective shades and tints, on a 2-dimensional color composition.

Front 15

Identify the seven techniques of space

Back 15

1. Perspective

2.Objects closer have more detail than objects that are far away are blurred and indistinct.

3.Vertical Placement

4.Objects that recede distance diminish in size.

5.Overlapping

6.Objects placed higher on the picture plane appear farther away and objects placed lower on the picture plane appears closer.

7.Objects that are closer have brighter colors and objects that are farther away

List the different parts of perspective

Back 30

Horizon Line: the level of view in which the background and the foreground meet. Usually the eye-level point of view.

2.Vanishing point or points: It is an imaginary place in which lines meet at or converge towards. The location of these vanishing points are very important.

3.Converging lines: These are lines that meet or move toward a vanishing point.
