Curriculum Project
 Resource: @rtEd WebLinks
 

A group effort in planning a DBAE Unit incorporating technology as a part of 1)  curriculum planning and 2) the activities for students.  Credit: 30%

Project teams, each consisting of three (3) members, will develop a Discipline-based Art Education Unit. The DBAE Unit must:

1. Cover no less than three weeks or more than six weeks.
2. Incorporate/ integrate  art history, studio^*, aesthetics, and art criticism

^*The studio projects may use traditional art materials or may use the computer as the medium.  If the project uses computer graphics software for student-generated products, team members should "do" the project as a sample to submit with the lesson plan.  Include with the project a statement of computer platform, programs, and other identifying information.
3. Use Internet resources for both teacher curriculum research and as a part of the activities for students.

1. Collaborate via e-mail. Instructor will send each member of the group the e-mail address of the other members.
2. Contact each other to select a topic or theme for the DBAE Unit.
3. Select a "correspondent," who then e-mails the instructor the topic or theme of the unit, and coordinates the final document for submission.   However, any member with a question is free to contact the instructor at any time. Instructor will reply and may offer suggestions, text sources, or links.
4. Prepare the final project for submission. Include:

• Theme or organizing concept
• Statement of how each of the areas is addressed in the Unit -- i.e., art history, art criticism, aesthetics, studio
• Daily lesson plans for the unit (Include any handouts prepared for students,
• Calendar
• Evaluation rubrics (quizzes, tests, written assignments, portfolio lists, etc.)
• List of supplies for the total unit
• List of texts, slides, video, CD-ROM's, or Internet Sources for Total Unit
• References ( Include national, state, and /or local standards or competencies met for both art and computer curriculums for the entire unit)
• Statement of any special concerns, or modifications of the unit for learning levels or styles, for multicultural  concerns, or for any assistive technologies that might be needed for students
• List of the team members with a biography paragraph, e-mail, and snail mail address.
