- Name of the Course: Art (Performing and Visual) & Creative Expressions
About the Course
Engagement with various forms of art as self-expression and need to develop sensibility to appreciate them has been an important concern in educational theory and practice. This concern is premised on the claim that forms of self-expression contribute immensely to the development of cognitive, affective, and psycho-motor dimensions among children, as well as that through one or another art form, children come to explore ways of expressing themselves. Further, it is also the case that critical appreciation of art enables children to form judgments of a very special kind, namely, aesthetic judgment. This enables students as they grow into adults to have focused attention on making sense of and appreciating cultural productions. Children enjoy artwork a lot. They explore and find meaning in artwork. Their psycho-motor skills get developed through art. The huge element of socialization is acquired through different form so fart. They get to know each other and understand each other and make friends through art. They develop their peer group through getting involved in art forms. Learning to work with others is also achieved through art. It gives them space to think independently, create and reflect. It is one space where all the three are involved- hand, head, and heart. Therefore, educational practitioners that the students of MA Education aim to be, will need to bring an element of art in practices that they engage in. To be able to do this, they need an appreciation of art in general, familiarity with one art form, and basic skills and capabilities to be creative and artful. Additionally, they should be familiar with some critical debates in art education, even if their work is in other subject areas. To this end in the first semester students will do one course that aims to help them recognize and appreciate the importance of aesthetic judgment, develop familiarity with an art form and basic skills to be creative and artful in their expressions. Skills develop from practice, therefore hands on training in doing art will be emphasized in this course. This course aims to help students develop a habit of performing skillful activities that are essentially aesthetic and artful which is expected to contribute to other educational practices that they develop in other courses in the programme. Therefore, this course will explicitly relate this skill to activities that practitioners of education engage in, like teaching, development of teaching-learning material, and content of other subject areas wherever possible.
