Reciprocal Learning Between ISU Pre-Service Elementary Educators and Local Middle School Art Students

Judith Briggs & Cheryl Prairie-Steber, Art Education

Additional Materials

Art for Elementary Educators (Briggs, PowerPoint)

Artwork generated by ISU pre-service elementary education majors acts as exemplars for seventh- and eighth-grade students at El Paso-Gridley Middle School. Both groups of students complete the same visual art lessons with the same ISU Art Education professor. ISU students then view middle school responses to learn how younger students visually solve the same problems. Elementary pre-service educators can then visualize themselves as artists prior to incorporating art into their own middle-school aged classrooms. This project is made possible with the cooperation of an ISU Art Education graduate and an El-Paso-Gridley art teacher.
