To
plan pedagogy effectively, teachers need to have a theory of how people
learn. They need to examine all factors relevant to learning. Today,
we will see how this works when organizing material for a collage based
on the concept of the ethnosphere explained by Wade Davis. We will also get familiar with the work of Jacob Intilé in order to produce a collage that illustrates the interconnections of culture and nature.

COLLAGE
A
collage is an artistic composition made of various materials (such as
paper, cloth, or wood) glued on a surface cut pictures from magazines.
There are 4 Types of Collages:
Papier
collé. Taken from the French term meaning “pasted paper” or “paper
cut-out,” papier collé, or paper collage, is a collaging technique in
which printed or decorated paper is applied to a surface, such as
canvas, to create a new image. ...
Découpage. Decoupage or découpage is the art of decorating an object by
gluing colored paper cutouts onto it in combination with special paint
effects, gold leaf, and other decorative elements. Commonly, an object
like a small box or an item of furniture is covered by cutouts from
magazines or from purpose-manufactured papers.
Photomontage. Photomontage is the process and the result of making a composite
photograph by cutting, gluing, rearranging and overlapping two or more
photographs into a new image. Sometimes the resulting composite image is
photographed so that the final image may appear as a seamless physical
print.
Assemblage. Assemblage is an artistic form or medium usually created on a
defined substrate that consists of three-dimensional elements projecting
out of or from the substrate. It is similar to collage, a
two-dimensional medium

A Note to Remember
The
making of a collage can be a creative way to bring attention to other
academic subjects. It allows students to use art to make a point.

Case Studies
1
The Ethnosphere
By Wade Davis
The
class will be introduced to National Geographic's Explorer Wade Davis
who teaches about what he calls the ethnosphere, a word he uses to
describe the
imaginative contributions of humanity to the planet. He makes emphasis
on people's stories. They are global resources, just like air, water,
and green life. Just like the biosphere, the ethnosphere is also threatened by rampant modernization and globalization.

Artist Jacob Intilé
Turning Pages of Magazines Into Surreal Collages
Jacob Intilé is
a Vancouver based artist who captures the seriousness of each creature
as we realize them in nature. However, through his work he is able to
give them new depth in their collaged transformations. They become kings
or emperors from another dimension. As expressed by Cynthia Schmelzer
in strictlypaper.com, his "ornate and otherworldly costumes all use of symmetry as an underlying theme throughout."
Collage
is a technique of an art production, primarily used in the visual arts,
where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms, thus
creating a new whole.

2. What does the lack of a validated model do?
(paragraph 7)
How do we break out of the unproductive cycle & move teaching forward? (8th paragraph)
Answer:
Without a valid model we are not sure if the results are accurate or reliable
In order to break out an unproductive cycle and move forward we have to focus on innovative teaching methods.

Classic Meets Modern
Nydia Kyriakopoulos?
Our collage shows images from the past such as the Renaissance. We also
have newer art that is more modern. It is very visually appealing with
the mix of styles

Little do they know, their is a guy close to them with a bunch of food.

Art is expressed in numerous ways. Here we are expressing the beauty of art through design, color, and architecture.

Each element is necessary to make the windmill work. We
(animals, humans, the environment) coexist and without eachother we are
not able to live.

Nature and Random Things
Abby Gendell and Joel Keller
Art is expressed in various ways. Here we put together a collage as a collection of pieces and pulled them together
to make a new piece.
Make Up
Alex Fishbone
Student learning takes in a lot of
factors into consideration such as prior knowledge, misconceptions, bad
study habits, and limited attention. Students should take their own
prior experiences to create their own learning.
Brady Wisdom
We look for simple solutions in education because we don't really
know exactly how students learn. What we need is a detailed and proven
model that explains all the things that affect learning and how they
work together. Without this, teachers have to guess how students learn,
and this can lead to using simple and untested ideas in teaching.
I would create a photomontague because they are ecletic and
expressive. I enjoyed the group that made one called "Art and
Architecture". It was very nice.

1. According to Wade Davis, the
ethnosphere is defined as the sum total of all thoughts, beliefs, myths,
and institutions brought into being by the human imagination,
essentially humanity's cultural counterpart to the biosphere.
I Unit: Teaching Theme: Learning Theories Introduction Learning theories describe how students receive, process, and retain knowledge during learning. Cognitive, emotional, and environmental influences, as well as prior experience, all play a part in teaching and learning. Understanding, developing our world view, acquiring or changing information, acknowledging and retaining skills are all part of Western learning tradition and theories. II Learning Objectives Understand how learning theories have changed from anicent times to the present Explain the differences betweeen early philosophers and contemporary theorists who wrote about education Gain an awareness of thedifferent learning theories Experience the articulation of your own learning theory III Main Lesson 1 https://youtu.be/w46bWxS9IjY Question 1 What do you think is the message in this video?

I Unit: Teaching Theme: Writing About an Art Piece Introduction Echoing Professor Marjorie Munsterberg, the main point of writing about art is to be "accurate, precise and definite," when describing the piece. However, for our class, that is only the first paragraph. The second paragraph is all about why you chose the piece you are writing about. What does it mean to you. The last paragraph is about how you would use it to teach a lesson related to another subject in the humanities or science. II Learning Objectives Understand the challenges implicit in writing about an art piece Explain aspects of the art piece you chose that relate to your own feelings, experiences, memories Gain an awareness of the importance of writing about the arts Experience what is like to write about the arts for the purpose of teaching III Main Lesson 1 See below some suggestions when writing about different art genres. ------------------------------ 2 LINK Sample Essays About Sculptu
I Unit: Music Theme: Sound Art Introduction Sound art is an artistic discipline in which sound is utilized as a primary medium.
