What are your goals for an art class?

by trying to decide

May 16, 2013

I want to pair things down a bit for the future and set fewer goals, but make certain students achieve them. I think it's probably best to set only a few. I was wondering what others thought. So, if you were to choose from 3-5 goals, i.e. things you would absolutely want every student to walk out of your class knowing or having experienced, what would they be? I'm referring to concrete goals.

SH My goals are that my students experience the "magic" of art.

I want them to be excited to get their hands dirty and make something, and then have that excitement carry them through the lessons on history and artists and elements & principles.

I want my students to create things that they are proud of.

What is it that interests you yourself about art. You have to have a passion yourself about art to get the kids motivated. This is in my opinion a very transitional time,art is becoming much more focused on more computer created less traditional forms. Kids love anything with a computer or technology. I have been teaching art for 15 years, I do use computers ,I started art with more drawing and painting but kind of taught myself ceramics and find my interests have grown more toward the 3d realm. I have found myself in your same situation looking up different sources for art lessons,the ones mentioned previously are all excellent. Blogs are really good,pinterest is so great! I think it's really very important to get out their and look at art, and create art. To me it sounds like the sketches you made from looking at art are going to be the most true and valuable art experiences for your students,you'll probably have to do them a few times and screw them up and tweak them,but that's o.k. Making mistakes is part of the process. Also the trend is to incorporate common core into your lessons. I'll get off of my soap box now sorry to lecture
