The purpose of this study is to gain insight on how art teacher’s reason about what is “plagiarism” in the subject of art. This study focus on how different art teacher´s reason on the boundaries of plagiarism. What are the rules of duplicating an image before it is looked upon as plagiarism? The five interviewed teachers refer in its reasoning to the main curriculum and the rules of copyright; they also support the negative view of the plagiarism in the world of art.The theory of originality is a theory that deals with the vision of the originality in contemporary time. It is a theory that opposes the romanticism view on the original and question the traditional approach to the artist's ability to create out of nothing. This theory combined with the main curriculum and the rules of copyright are used in this study to analyze teachers' approach and way of thinking about the boundaries of plagiarism in art class in upper secondary level. The results show that the teachers consider this topic to be complicated, and think differently about the restrictions.Keywords: art

The students in my elementary art classes did not seem to be creating for themselves. They seemed to have the understanding there was only one correct answer in art class, and the art teacher knew what that answer was. By way of research I have found ways to create an atmosphere in my art room that promotes imagination and self expression in children, thus fostering a free and creative reaction from my students. Through understanding how and why one uses their imagination, an art teacher can enhance a student's ability to build and use his or her knowledge base. I believe an art teacher can help students build artistic confidence by using strategies such as introducing new art materials to children in a play atmosphere, planning lessons that are open-ended, giving choices for materials used, and guiding students using mental imagery.

Today's classrooms are filled with an ethnically and linguistically diverse population of students. In order for Limited English Proficient (LEP) high school students to be academically successful and meet the goals of No Child Left Behind 2001, they must learn academic English. As an art teacher, I understand the importance of art in a student's general education. However, could a high school art class, also, act as a tool for teaching LEP students the English language? My goal, through the use of action research, is to find an effective way to set up an English as a Second Language (ESL) Level 1 art class, thus, giving students the benefits of art while furthering their English language development.

This research study presents a theoretical and practical basis for an art curriculum that incorporates writings into the elementary art class in order to enhance students’ meaning making through art. This research is comprised of two related studies. The first study is a case study documenting an elementary school art curriculum unit, which was implemented in an art class at the Austin Korean School (AKS). The second study is an action research project with an individual student from the AKS art class. The goals of these two related studies have been to help elementary students to interpret meanings of images and to construct meanings through both making and viewing images. / text

Annotation: Macháčková, Z.: Image, photography as a concept in elementary school education [Diploma thesis] Brno 2012 - Charles University in Prague, Faculty of education, Department of Art, 114 p. Objectives: Based on both recommended and other literature, discuss the evolution of photography (analogue and digital photography, photographic types and genres) and hint at the specifics of photographic production in comparison with classical art media. Discuss the expressive possibilities of manipulated photography (PC photography editing, collage, photomontage, etc.), with attention to applicability of photography in elementary school education. Consider organic inter-discplinary relations between the art class and other classes. Design a didactic project for an art class, based on the Framework Education Programme for Basic Education. The project should employ digital photography as a specific and accessible art medium and should be practically validated. It should focus on experiments and etudes, in which students would use photography as an accessible tool to experience and create art. Results: The proposed project, based on digital photography as a device for art activities, has shown that photography can be practically and successfully applied in elementary school classwork. Keywords: Elementary...

Postulando que haja uma ligação direta entre a interação professor-aluno e a aprendizagem, fez-se uma microanálise de duas aulas filmadas num projeto de arte procurando responder às seguintes questões: como se caracteriza a interação professor-aluno em uma aula de arte no Projeto Café com Pão Arte conFusão, em termos dos alinhamentos dos participantes e dos enquadres evocados nessa situação, e que elementos linguístico-discursivos e contextuais são relevantes nessa interação? Foram analisados os papeis sociais, as relações de poder e as ações comunicativas do professor que encontram resposta favorável no aluno e aquelas que criam barreiras à interação. Concluiu-se que, no contexto específico das aulas gravadas, a relação entre a interação professor-aluno e a aprendizagem pode existir, mas não é a principal responsável pelos resultados alcançados no Projeto. A professora, em seu papel específico, não se revelou diferente dos padrões típicos como se esperava; mas sua atuação como dramaturga constroi eficazmente a interação com os alunos e torna sugestiva a conjugação entre o ensino de língua e a arte. / This work is a case study which relates to Interactional Sociolinguistics researches and analyzes the teacher-student interaction as revealing the movement towards and away from the institutionalized context of the school. Postulating that there is a direct link between teacher-student interaction and learning, a micro-analysis of two lectures recorded on a art project was made in order to answer the following questions: how to characterize the teacher-student interaction in an art class at projeto Café com Pão Arte conFusão, in terms of alignments of participants and framings evoked on this situation, and which linguistic-discursive and contextual elements are relevant in this interaction? We analyzed the social roles, power relations and communicative actions of the teacher are favorable response on the student and those that create barriers to interaction. It was concluded that, in the specific context of recorded classes , the relationship between teacher-student interaction and learning can exist, but it is not the main responsible for the results achieved in this project. The teacher, on herspecific role did not revealed different from the typical patterns as it was expected, but her acting as a playwright makes effectively the interaction with the students and renders suggestive the conjugation between the teaching of language and art.
