1. Read & Respond (In your response, speak to something from each lens (Artist/Researcher/Teacher).As an Artist As a photographer and filmmaker, my horizon is sometimes limited. Poul describe some digital artworks that are on the basic of game and art. This kind of artwork is really appealing, while I haven’t thought about creating artworks with photography, videography and game. It is really challenging, isn’t it? As an Researcher This research reminds me of some researchers who are working on the topics of “Art Cure” and “Art Risk Students”. I think Clubhouse, to some degree, is a community-based after school art program. I think this researcher has exceptional insight, because he has shed light on media art and how it can be encouraged to learn through making. I’ve read some articles about “art risk students”, and I was wondering whether it could be potential to study, for example, art risk students and media art? I’ve been to some after school program in Columbia, for example, OurArt Studio provides some free art events for kids who are 5-15 years old. Most of events focus on traditional art forms, such as drawing, painting, etc. Therefore, I am interested to know some results if media arts are applied in some after school art program. In addition, the researcher uses some qualitative research methodology, such as interview, video footages. My research proposal will apply these methods as well. As an Teacher “The activity of art making is important, because it engages youth in the process of building, creating, and constructing artifacts – whether digital or physical.” (Peppler, P2123) Boom! When I was designing my unit plan, I had not thought about adding some activities of art making in the first 3 lessons. Thanks for Beth’s suggestions, I finally add some activities. Peppler claims that art making activity is vital in the learning process, as a result, it would engage students deeply in the content and they are motivated as well. Second, as a pre-service teacher, it is important to have this idea on mind, media art and traditional art can be situated in the art classroom. Additionally, Traditional art and media art cannot be separated, in fact, media arts and its techniques, skills, and concepts are sometimes on the basic of traditional arts. Third, as a pre-service teacher, I’d better to consider what youth culture is and how we can motivate them, basically, how we get to know them. Reference: Peppler, K. (2010). Media arts: Arts education for a digital age. Teachers College Record, 112(8), 2118-2153. 2. As you locate additional resources you will use for both your curriculum AND your research/grant project. List citations (APA) of articles/resources on your blogThanks for Amy and peers’ help, I add a sub-question for the research proposal, which is related to our current course - “How does documentary filmmaking empower the international student voice and sense of place within the MU community?”. To be honest, this is question is so fascinating to me, because I am intrigued to know whether technology/documentary help people or not? We’ve been exploring so many articles talking about digital art and digital literacy. Some says digital era is the best time, while someone refuges this idea. Certainly, it depends on different context and situation. As I read the article titled Media arts: Arts education for a digital age, I was wondering that if the participants of this study were adults? Or college students? Therefore, I searched for some researches talking about the technology (documentary filmmaking) and personal/community voice, additionally, some researchers point out that documentary filmmaking plays a significant role in addressing social and political issues. I believe that these articles (which is highlighted with bold black in the below) will fresh my mind and give me more ideas about the research proposal, especially, the methods for data collection. I plan to read them during Thanksgiving holiday, while my goal is to finish the readings prior to Thanksgiving. Resources:
3. Work on your art assignment video, post to YouTube. These art assignments are a part of the units you are designing, so create them with your audience in mind. When you post your art assignment, please state the age group of your intended student population. Share where in the unit you will use this. Will you use it at the beginning as an introduction to the big idea? A specific task to accomplish in the middle of the unit? * At the end as a sort of assessment strategy? This could change, but for now, be envisioning.This art assignment is for high school students from 9th grade to 12th grade, and it is a prompt for students who haven’t known about storyboard in detail. Therefore, this art assignment would take place on Day 4 after we brainstormed and made a mind map about identity. 4. Start developing a basic digital outlineFor unit presentation, I am going to use Powtoon and Premiere to create a video (less than 15 mins) to introduce the whole unit in detail. I may use some footages from the unit art assignment I’ve made last week. The outline is in the below. Thanks for Amy and peer's suggestions, I've revised my unit plan a little bit. Please see the below. 5. Peer response for this week: Please just respond to the R & R, you will be responding to art assignments as part of next week’s assignment. To Patricia: I noticed that.. even though we were looking at the same article, we usually come up different thoughts. sometimes, I do not notice the point, while my peers notice that. Like you mentioned the copyright date of the source. To be honest, I usually skip the part of reference, expect for I am going to use the citation. From your perspective towards teacher's lens, to some degree, kids are more proficient in using technology than teachers, it is true. I remember that one of my tutoring students taught me how to use some latest version of photo edit apps. Young students are talented to new thing. I've been heard that technology is not applied in the school in rural area, so how does teacher teach something related to technology. This thought just pop up when I was typing. In the lens of artist, i am interested to know which artists collaborate with their guests to complete an art project? I am going to comment on your art assignment video on Notebowl.
To Kim: Hi Kim, you mentioned "emulation" which I am currious, I see every artist starts art making with emulation. It is interesting, we always get inspried from some artists and based on their works, we could make something different, or make progress. I see creativity comes from emulation as well. Additionally, The Computer Clubhouse is a great place for helping students who haven't gotten chances to exlore digital arts. What I am interested is, currently, in some after-school program in which focus on art does not provide digital art exploration. Well, it is interesting to know whether this is related to economics of the city? I think it is interesting to research how after-school program enhance students self-identity, and how they make difference. In China, after-school programs are held by some private companies, in which provide main subject tutoring, including Math, English, and Chinese language art. Digital art is not included currently..Chinese peope view art is, to some degree, different from American people. My experiece - when I was high school students, some of my classlates who were learning Fine art did not have good scores with main subject. The reason why they were learning Fine Art was to get entrance to college. As you may know, it is very diffucult to go to college in China because of big population. So, fine art hasnt been seeing as a valuable subject in current China. All afterschool programs about fine art are money-driven.
