Art, Music and Creative Movement	
CATALOG DESCRIPTION:  

	The goal of this course is to assist students in gaining an understanding of the principles and concepts related to artistic, musical, and movement education for elementary school teachers. This course will focus on strategies to integrate art, music and movement in the teaching of concepts and content.  A growing body of research supports the concept that children need to be engaged visually, auditorily, and kinesthetically to enhance learning.  Art, music and movement provide important opportunities to enhance student learning in all content areas.
	
PROGRAM OUTCOME:

	Through a "hands on" approach, instruction will focus on processes involved in integrating art, music and creative movement with content instruction.  Strategies based on current theories of best practice will be discussed and “modeled” to promote skills in teaching art, music and movement in the elementary classroom.
	
STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES:

	By the end of this course students will be able to:
1. Demonstrate basic artistic skills through studio art experiences in various media and techniques. (HTSB Standards 3-7)
2. Develop lesson plans to demonstrate basic music and movement skills through individual and group performances. (HTSB Standards 5,6,7)
3. Discuss the importance of providing an academic equilibrium for children by providing exposure to the arts. (HTSB Standards 1-8)
