Melissa's Myriad: Art Education Page Information on disciplinebased art education plus K-12 lesson plans, FAQs and links. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/8020/arted.html
Extractions: Art Education ... Who is Melissa, Anyway? Discipline Based Art Education Discipline Based Art Education (commonly called DBAE) is an art education method that goes beyond painting a pretty picture. DBAE promotes higher level thinking skills, original problem solving skills, cultural and global awareness, verbal and non-verbal communication, and other skills that will help students throughout their lives. These goals are accomplished by teaching art history, criticism and aesthetics as well as production. For an example we will use a lesson on making clay pots using the coil method. That lesson provides the teacher with the opportunity to help the students learn about proportion, technique, and how the shape of the pot causes different feelings in viewers (pots can be graceful, strong, awkward, etc.) While the students make the pots, they solve problems like, "Do I want my coils to make designs on the pot? Why or why not?", and, "How do I make my pot look delicate?" The students' pots can be can be related to pots made in other cultures, like the Greeks, the Aztecs, the Japanese, or others.

Study Guide Home Page This study guide serves as a supplement to the radio series, Countdown to Millennium An Oral History project. This resource for teachers includes lesson plans, background on oral history collection, instructions for video interviews and web page construction, and links to oral history archives. http://www.tcomschool.ohiou.edu/cdtm
Extractions: Resources for this study guide will be the Countdown To Millennium website at - www.frognet.net/countdown and the lesson plans on this site. In addition, if a classroom has access to a video camera or an audio tape recorder and a web design program (we used Front Page), then the class could build their own collection of local oral histories. See Video Taping Techniques and Web Design Notes for our instructions on how to create a video archive and individual web pages. ABOUT THE STUDY GUIDE This study guide has several sections. The first two pages, What Is Oral History? and Why Use Oral History? , give a background to the methodology of oral narratives and why they are important. There are examples from oral histories to illustrate the points made. They're a good background for teachers and students alike. Additional pages talk about how you can create an archive of local stories in the classroom. Once established, this database could be added to year after year and become a worthwhile resource for your students and for the community.
