Mindmappen. Inc.com. Computers and Fabrication: Revolutionizing the Art World. It may come as a surprise that one of the four teaching certifications I hold is K-12 Art Education. It is a certification that I am excited to finally use in my new position in the fall. Throughout high school, I took private art lessons with a local artist. I learned how to mix paint colors, complete paintings with a limited palette, paint with a palette knife, and create drypoint etchings, linoleum prints, mixed media and clay sculpture, as well as how to work in a variety of drawing techniques. For each project we worked on, we also received a lesson in art history, giving us context for the technique or materials we were using.
Old School Technology As I reflect on my experiences, I realize that all of these creating and making experiences involved a variety of technologies. Many of these older technologies are still in use in digital fabrication labs (FabLabs) and MakerSpaces around the world. What's Art? Picking Up STEAM So what is the implication for K-12 schools?

Door Dick van der Wateren Wie mijn vorige posts gelezen heeft (op deze blog en hier), zal het niet ontgaan zijn dat ik creativiteit in het onderwijs, zowel in het onderwijzen als in het leren, heel belangrijk vind.
Daarbij bedoel ik niet alleen de creativiteit zoals je die bij de zg. creatieve vakken nodig hebt, maar creativiteit bij alles wat je doet. Creativiteit houdt dan in het vermogen om de juiste vragen te stellen, kritisch te denken, sceptisch te zijn over vooronderstellingen, meerdere oplossingen voor een probleem te bedenken, of meerdere antwoorden op een vraag. In de dagelijkse onderwijspraktijk wordt die vaardigheid meestal weinig ontwikkeld of gestimuleerd. Dat wordt nog erger naarmate in het onderwijs meer tijd en aandacht besteed wordt aan (standaard)toetsen ten koste van het lesgeven. De meeste standaardtoetsen meten voornamelijk cognitieve vaardigheden en dan nog op een betrekkelijk laag niveau. De overheid wil Nederland in de top-vijf beste onderwijslanden. Bronnen. 360 Blog.
