Erica Duffy

Look here for her website.

Erica teaches metals and Jewelry at UNI and she works to promote awareness of "labeling" people who are different or have a disability. Take time to look at her work and read her artist statement. How could her work be used in a high school classroom to promote awareness?

In The Making Artist Reports

For Tuesday:
You are each assigned to report on one of the artists listed in the syllabus. You need to read about 3 artists from the list so we can have a discussion about the artists in class. (YOUR CHOICE OF 2 OTHER ARTISTS). 
Your homework is to blog about:
 1.) Your selected artist's bio and post a picture of their artwork and a link to their website or related source of information.
2.)  How this artist relates to the them of the chapter "scoping an audience."
3.) The type of work and media the artist produces.
4.) Your thoughts on the artist's work and if you would include this artist in your high school curriculum or not and WHY? 


Still commenting on 2 blogs-  this week make sure you read everyone's artist report and come prepared to discuss the artists!  Have a great weekend!!!

Welcome!

Welcome to the Secondary Methods Blogosphere...
I invite you to join me on our blogging adventure. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you begin your own blog this semester.


Blogging Protocols

1) Use a pseudonym for yourself. Do not name names, especially the names of the school where you are working or the students with whom you have contact. This includes your peers.
2) Do not use foul language or language that may offend other people.
3) Do not use text abbreviations such as LOL or CUL8tr.
4) Take time to compose your writing well. Please spell check and fact check. These blogs are graded. While this is a novel way of recording your reflections on your experiences and reading, remember this is also an academic exercise.
5) Do not post photos where your identity or the identity of others is revealed.
(You can post pictures where the back of a person’s head if visible or their hand. You can also post things, but not recognizable places or people). Do not post any photographs which are incriminating.
6) When commenting on the posts of others keep an open mind, do not personally attack the views of others. If you disagree with something someone has posted feel free to engage in a discussion that provides sound reasoning to back up your point of view. Ask them to clarify what they mean in order to better understand their point of view.
7) Remember your audience for this blog is your professor and other pre-service teachers. So… be professional.
8) Please restrict your blog to posts about our reading, your experience as an artist and teacher, and your field experience. When this course is over you can expand on these themes, but for now…
9) Do not post advertisements on your blog.

American Visionary Museum

Rachel and Wendy miss  you all terribly and wish you could have joined us at the American Visionary Museum yesterday. 
Visionary Art is " Visionary art as defined for the purposes of the American Visionary Art Museum refers to art produced by self-taught individuals, usually without formal training, whose works arise from an innate personal vision that revels foremost in the creative act itself." In short, visionary art begins by listening to the inner voices of the soul, and often may not even be thought of as 'art' by its creator." 
We were only allowed to take pictures outside- sorry!
Enjoy!
