St Martin's Press Art of Teaching Art to Children
Book SynopsisAn inspiring and comprehensive guide to art education from Nancy Beal, with Gloria Bley Miller.In this accessibly written guide for classroom and art teachers as well as parents, Nancy Beal shows how to release children''s marvelous gifts of expression. Beal believes that children must first of all be comfortable with their materials. She focuses on six basic media: collage, drawing, painting, clay, printmaking, and construction. She gives practical consideration to all facets of a teacher''s responsibility: how each material should be introduced; what supplies are best; how a classroom may be set up to support children''s explorations; and how teachers may ask open-ed questions to stimulate personal and meaningful expression. Beal also discusses how to integrate art into social studies and how to make museum visits productive and fun. Each chapter includes a section specifically for parents on helping their children create art at home.Beal has taught art to c

Taylor & Francis Ltd Official Portraits and Unofficial
Book SynopsisThis book chronicles 5th and 6th grade writers - children of gang members, drug users, poor people, and non-documented and documented immigrants - in a rural school in the southwest US coming into their voices, cultivating those voices, and using those voices in a variety of venues, beginning with the classroom community and spreading outward. At the heart of this book is the cultivation of tension between official and unofficial portraits of these students. Official portraits are composed of demographic data, socioeconomic data, and test results. Unofficial counterportraits offer different views of children, schools, and communities. The big ideas of official and unofficial portraits are presented, then each chapter offers data (the childrenâs and teachersâ processes and products) and facets of the theoretical construct of counterportraits, as a response to official portraits. The counterportraits are built slowly in order to base them in evidence and to articulate their comTable of ContentsPrefaceAcknowledgements Prologue: Writing Spaces and Hard TimesChapter 1: An Introduction to Searching for Our TruthsBefore the Work BeganPortraits and CounterportraitsMesa Vista Elementary School (MVE): The Official PortraitFinding the SchoolHomelessnessChapter 2: Writers Reveal ThemselvesBecoming More than an ObserverFirst Pieces of WritingInitiating Data AnalysisTeacher as ScreamerStrictness, Power, and MicroaggressionsStrict Schools and the Search for JoyThe Counterportrait Up to This PointChapter 3: Claiming Spaces to WriteThe Sixth Graders’ SpaceFinding the Space to WriteThe Fifth Graders’ SpaceThe Biography Assignment Begins to EvolveWriting Spaces and the View of the ChildCounterportraits So FarChapter 4: Rewriting Self and Writing About OthersSixth Graders’ Non-Biography Biography WorkMoving Towards Increased SharingFifth Graders Begin Biography WritingComposing Classmates’ BiographiesCounterportraits (so far), Context, and the Presentation of SelfChapter 5: Expanding Writing Spaces as Communities of PracticeFifth Graders Interview, Transcribe, & WriteSome Fifth Graders’ Transcriptions (Excerpts)And in the sixth grade…Communities, Boundaries, and CounterportraitsLegitimizing a Context for CounterportraitureChapter 6: Writing Changes Writers: The Impact of InertiaGood NewsSixth Graders Consider Expository BiographyFeatured Fifth Grade WriterWorking for HoursCounterportraiture, Working in the Plural Form, & InertiaChapter 7: Heroes, Dark Secrets, Otter Pops, & StrugglesIn the Fifth GradeFeatured Fifth Grade AuthorsChuck, the HumoristEstevan’s HeroSixth Grade Poets’ Dark PoetrySixth Graders’ Brief BiographiesThings Fall ApartThe Classroom as a "Site of Struggle"Struggle and the Use of TimeWriting as CarnivalCarnivals Breed StruggleCounterportraits, Struggles, Legitimacy, and PossibilitiesChapter 8: Writing Places as Hybrid SpacesSixth Graders Get SeriousPoetry in the Biography GenreHybridized Texts and ContextsHybridized Spaces and CounterportraitsChapter 9: Products, Presentations, and Power Our First Public VenueReading Their Work in Small GroupsSlam PoetryFor FamiliesCounterportraits and Spheres of InfluenceWhen Small Spheres Align…Chapter 10: Suffering, Struggles, and the CommunityHome VisitsBringing the Community to the Sixth GradeWriters’ Reflections on the YearReflections on self-as-writer and CounterportraitsReflections on Writing and CounterportraitsWhat else, what next, and CounterportraitsThank You Notes, Relationships, and CounterportraitsCritical Literacy, Hope and CounterportraitsChapter 11: Writing Spaces for Better TimesThe Purposes of School, the Search for Joy, & the Spirit of the ChildInner StrugglesLanguage & Identity StrugglesSchool as a Site of StruggleKnowledge/Power StruggleAgency: Responding to StrugglesAgency and Responsibilities in Composing CounterportraitsAgency and Responsibility, the Bigger PictureAgency and Responsibility in SchoolsAgency and Responsibility in PartnershipsChanging the Course of HistoryEpilogue: Microeducational EconomiesAppendix 1: Counterportraiture as Method/Method as Political WorkAppendix 2: Full Text of Some Biographies Appendix 3: Storyboard Appendix 4: Editorial ChecklistReferencesIndex of Children’s WorkSubject Index
