AIMS IN
TEACHING ART

What should be the aim of teaching

art in the classroom? Be an Amorsolo
or a Valentino? To produce good works
for displays or to become all these are
poor goals.
It is the mistaken notion that art is
only for special people that the mess in
the teaching of art in the elementary
grades has rise.

Art education is not a special subject

which can be integrated in any other
subjects, so its aims should be viewed
in the light of the broader aims of
education. For this reason we believe
that art education in all levels should
aim.

1. To give the child wholesome

experiences for his maximum personal
growth.

2. To develop in the child a capacity

to relate himself creatively and
spontaneously to his environment.

The classroom teacher must be

aware that art is centered on two
aspects:
1. appreciation
2. creation
This enjoyment would be more if the
watchers would be participants. One enjoys
painting if he has had some experience in
painting.

One can evaluate the beauty of a simple

hat better when he understands the
materials and processes involved in making
the hat. You may like the song but you will
enjoy it better when you sing it. Appreciation
becomes enjoyable when one becomes
really involved in the object of his
appreciation. The teacher can be more
involved if he becomes an active participant
with his pupils. Therefore he should be in
the art itself.

THE ADVENTURER PREPARES

A person knows that he cannot go far
without the necessary preparation.
Nothing comes from nothing
according to one of the songs in The Sound
of Music. So the teacher prepares his
materials and equipment.
1. A knowledge of the value of Art for his
pupils, for him, for his country and for the
world at large

2. Well defined goals on sound concepts

and philosophy.
3. A good idea of the different elements of
beauty and their uses.
4. A knowledge of the principles of design
and their uses.
5. The know how and the process involved
in the different art activities.

VALUES OF THE ARTS and

AIMS OF TEACHING ART
Is Art for the gifted few only? What does
art mean to you? Is it a special subject
because only a few can be an artist? But
entire communities can engage in an art
activity. Art is for you, for them, for us, for
everybody.

Art is something where we can

express feelings in its so many angles.
Art is life, for life is a work of art.
Is there a real need for including Art
in the childs education? This question
confuses classroom teachers.

1. Self Realization
a. Confidence
and
creative
self
expression and ability to communicate ones
ideas to others.
b. Awareness of aesthetic interest for the
development of good judgment and
discriminating choice of things that one
uses.
c. Ability to evaluate art standards and
apply them to materials workmanship,
appearance and usefulness of product.

2. Civic Responsibility
a. Art as a socializing activity.
b. Ability to value and respect artistic
expression of others.
c. Ability to apply artistic
arrangement in terms of better
living not only in the childs
immediate community but in the
world community as well.

3. Intrinsic Value
Art is relatively correlated with other areas
in the curriculum and with extra curricular
activities in ones environment.
4. Therapeutic Values
a. The childs art work is a good record of
his feelings and moods.

b. Art works to detect anxieties,

tensions and frustrations.
c. Art is widely used in mental
clinics.
5. Expression
To develop in the Child the ability and
desire to express and communicate himself
creatively and spontaneously.

6. Experimentation
To foster or develop his ability to
experiment with various media, methods
and areas of expression.
7. Evaluation
To develop tolerant appreciation in
evaluating the art expression of himself
and of others.

8. Appreciation
To develop tolerant appreciation in
evaluating the art expression of himself
and of others
9. Democracy
To develop civic responsibility, social
awareness, and group cooperation
through art.

10. Art for the handicapped

To allow and encouraged those who
are not verbally skilled to express their
desires,
emotions,
understanding,
attitudes, beliefs, and social qualities
through art, thus assuring them of
personal growth.
11. International Understanding
To develop international understanding
thru art.

Comparison of Childrens Work

Teachers often commit the mistakes of
comparing childrens work forgetting their
differences as individuals. Imitation of a
model may be good but it sometimes
creates dependency on others instead of
originality. Imitation should be a means, not
an end.

Limiting the Childs Art Forms

The childs visual, aural, vocal, motor and
emotional impressions should be explored.
He should not be exposed to only one art
form. Since differences in native talents and
capacities exist there should be different
outlets.

WHAT SUPPRESSES FREEDOM OF

EXPRESSION IN CREATIVITY
1. Tracing Patterns
2. Copying Art Works
3. Going thru art activity step by step
4. Following directions in workbooks and
coloring books.

Effects of imitative procedures in coloring.

1. They make the child dependent
deprive him of the ability to create.
2. They make the child inflexible as he
has to follow what he has been given.
3. They do not provide emotional relief as
he has no opportunity to express his
own feelings and experience and
acquire release for his own emotions

4. They do not promote skills and

discipline because a childs own urge for
perfection grows out of his own desire for
expression.
5.

They condition the child to adult

concepts which he cannot produce
along and which therefore frustrate his
own creative ambitions.

SUGGESTIONS FOR TEACHER

1. Have the child think of something to
create
2. Provide a rich environment that will
stimulate creativity. The environment will
provide the stimuli that may arouse ideas.
3.Expose children to beautiful things. Show
them colored illustrations, slides,
paintings, etc.

Take them on field trip to exhibits,

museums, and art centers. Call their
attention to movies, T.V. Shows and
books that are worthwhile. Help them to
be aware of people and objects around
them.
4.

Enrich the curriculum by inviting

resources persons who may act as
consultants. They may also arouse
interest and latent talents.

5. Identify the physical and emotional needs

of the child. Encourage participation in
many forms of art activity that will reveal
his abilities, such as creative writing,
dancing, painting, working with clay and
tools, singing, playing with different kinds
of
instruments,
books
widely,
experimenting

6. Provide plenty of learning materials to

work out ideas, clay, paints, tools, books,
papers, scraps or cloth etc. have many
kinds of media available.
7. Make use of praise and encouragement
and stress good human relationship.
Cultivate rapport with the class. See that
the children get along well with each other
and that they feel a sense of belonging.

Children learn more then they feel

good about themselves toward the teacher
and other classmates.
Provide a healthy, friendly climate to
work in. Do not hurry the children. It takes
time to grow. Allow time for thinking, which
is necessary for creativity. Leave them
time for thinking. Just keeping them busy
does not assure happiness in what they
are doing.

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF A TEACHER

Art should be utilized in a good
direction for these comprise the best media
for promoting the integrative development
of children and youth.
This is a very good outlet that has all
the components of growth physical,
perceptual, emotional, intellectual, aesthetic
which are integrated harmoniously to
produce a well balanced human being.

Drawing and clay modeling involves

motor development, naming what was
done involves intellectual development
and a triangular line is a house to a child.
It is perceptual. Beautiful! A word of
encouragement makes a child feel happy.
This involves esthetic development.
Hence art education promotes the
integrative development of children and
youth.

APPRECIATION LESSON IN ART:

Beauty is art. Art is beauty. And beauty
has its own elements that makes it
beautiful. Elements of beauty are also
called elements of composition.

They are:
1. Line
2. Form of shape
3. Colors
4. Value
5. Space
6. Texture
The symbols of art can be found in
symbols and picture as expressions of
ones feelings or emotions.

SYMBOLS
Children are very fond of using symbols
which sometimes adults cannot grasp.
Children use colors which they think are
symbols of what they feel. The shapes,
forms , lines and positions and
movements of lines are symbols to them
which contribute to the totality of their
compositions.
Colors can be symbols and can be
associated with meanings. Green-hope,
black-death, orange-wisdom, and yellowjealousy.

PICTURES
A Good painting is a good picture.
Conservative artists represent things
exactly as they see them while modern
artists do not.
EMOTIONS
Feelings are expressed through lines,
forms, values, colors, and textures. When
properly used these elements stimulate
feelings. Red makes us happy, while blue
makes us sad.
