A
Tale of Two Art Teachers: Experiences in India
Lisa Kastello
Through the exploration of Indian youth culture and artistic
interactions with students at a school in Mysore, two (one from India and one
from the U.S.) art educators address a theory that creativity is a disposition
of an effective learner. Methodology
used took the form of interviews and drawing activities. The presenter will share stories and visual
imagery, as well as, facilitate a discussion with participants. The goal is to
provide a forum for the exploration of art educations contributions to the
disposition of an effective learner and to help teachers examine the shift from
multi-cultural to global communities.
The presenter is an assistant professor of art education and she received an internal grant for this project.
This presentation will provide participants with a view of creativity in an art education classroom half a world away. There will be discussion on international travel to promote global community in the world of art education. The presenter will share colorful visuals and artifacts from India, as well as stories from the experience. Participants will receive handouts and resources.

SAMR
Model of Tech Integration
So Choi
Participants will gain background knowledge of SAMR Model of
Tech integration and explore ways to enhance student learning using
technology. Participants will gain
lesson ideas and student examples of implementing technology into art
lessons. Participants will also acquire
practical approaches to engage learners and ways to seamlessly integrate
technology to document student progress. This session will address data driven
assessment where students are creating, responding, connecting, and presenting
their achievements
Enhancing
instruction through essential questions
Joyce Huser
The essential questions within the new Kansas and National
Visual Art Standards’ provide the foundation for inquiry in art education. They
have the potential for prompting students’ thinking and the acquisition of
artistic knowledge that will survive the test of time.
While asking in-depth, meaningful questions is an effective way to encourage students to think beyond the given, it is important that they build from questions that invite exploration of ideas specific to a topic, subject, or unit of study. These are known as unit questions. Unit questions pose problems and can serve as discussion starters that support the essential question. They encourage students to interpret the facts themselves.
While essential questions help students see connections between the subject matter and their own lives and unit questions allow for unique responses and creative approaches, content questions apply factual information about art that is important in helping students understand how art communicates. Content specific questions align with performance standards and support both the essential and unit questions.
This presentation will focus on starting with the essential questions and building unit and content questions that help students develop deep understandings about art. Building unit and content questions helps students grapple with and contemplate on the big ideas being addresses through essential questions. This session will consider the following: How can essential questions be developed into student-friendly queries that shape and deepen student understanding about the value of art in their lives? What considerations are there for moving from essential questions to deeper understandings? What is the most current research about questioning strategies that have implications for developing content? And, how can this material be used to develop practical applications for the art room in the form of units and lessons?

Visual
Art Standards Revision: Moving Toward
Deeper Understandings and Broader Application of Knowledge
Joyce Huser
The Kansas Curricular Standards for the Visual Arts have
been revised to align with the new National standards. These standards are designed to help students
delve deeper into understanding the value of art in their lives and help meet
the learning needs of all students and instructional needs of all educators
whether experienced or in the pre-service years of their teaching career. While these standards are not curriculum,
they are meant to guide rather than dictate the structure and development of
art education for Kansas’s students.
These standards address what students should know and understand in preparation for college and careers beyond high school. Toward that end, they emphasize the process-oriented nature of the visual arts that guide the continuous and systematic operations of instructional improvement.

around you in the creative process and strengthen the importance of art and the
power it has to change lives and inspire innovation and creative thinking in
other subject areas. Together, I will help inspire you to make changes in your
classroom to influence all those around you as well as inspire you to fire up
your creativity and creating a stronger student connection and lessons no

Art
Assessment: Measuring Student Growth
Amanda Martin-Hamon & Joyce Huser
As we know, measuring student growth over time is an
important pedagogical practice. However,
Kansas’s art teachers reveal concern regarding how they can measure student
growth that aligns with state and local expectations. While the revised state and national visual
art standards provide various options, teachers and administrators are asking
“how can teachers measure student achievement regarding the enduring
understandings and the broader performance standards addressed through the new
standards?” Although the new
performance standards provide steps toward helping students develop enduring
understandings regarding the value of art in their lives, they are less
specific than the old standards. This
requires new ways for measuring student achievement of these standards.
This presentation will provide ways for alleviating the concerns teachers and administrators have regarding measuring student progress, by addressing a variety of ways for assessing progress related to these understandings. Content will include unique ways for measuring student growth in art. Resources and examples will be available.
This session will consider the following: How can assessment be developed that is student-friendly and helps shape and deepen student understanding about the value of art in their lives? What considerations are there for moving toward qualitative measures that reveal sound data related to students developing life-long skills and attributes that can be taught through art? What is the most current research about student growth measures? And, how can teachers use this material to develop practical applications for art assessment?

From
Viewing to Doing: ArtLab, a place to Look, Create, Understand
Kandis Barker & Jane Hanni
HANDS ON! As museum educators, we all seek to offer our guests the spark that occurs when a viewer makes a connection with the object being viewed. Our challenge as an art museum is how do we effectively engage and educate our general viewers to make such connections possible?
In 2006, the Mulvane Art Museum in Topeka, Ks, opened ArtLab, an art activity center for people of all ages and abilities—offered free to all. We developed an INTERACTIVE environment that enriches the gallery art viewing experience with applied learning gained by making art. (That’s how people learn!)
Through INTERACTIVE tour strategies and the connections made by making art, viewers gain the interpretational skills and critical thought processes that make meaningful museum visits possible for a broad audience. The ArtLab incentive encourages a new generation of art museum visitors who are informed about art and art processes as they Look, Create and Understand.
In this session we will DISCUSS a work of art and CREATE AN ART PROJECT that corresponds with the artwork being viewed.

Technical Education will be included in the dialogue. This exercise of
stretching will deepen use of art fundamentals and address a vast variety of
curricular areas from drawing, painting and sculpture to graphic design, filmmaking,
video, and interactive media. The presentation and discussion will allow
participants the opportunity to apply their new knowledge and will provide them
with practical references to take back home.
Demonstrations on possible association between Visual Art Standards and
Media Art Standards will be considered, lending the arts a stronger position in
the multimedia 21st Century.
