ART ED 430/530 Studio Art
in the Schools: iMovie
Course Description:
This course explores the use of iMovie as a technological teaching tool
for both the elementary and secondary levels. Students will learn
digital editing through iMovie, a software program specific to Apple
computers. Students will demonstrate competence with using iMovie
to create full motion movies for use as supplemental instructional
tools.
Methods of Instruction: Discussions,
studio work, reflective papers, and occasional lectures. Students
who have special needs that may affect their ability to benefit from
their educational experience are asked to disclose those needs to me as
early as possible so I can arrange appropriate accommodations.
Please keep cell phones turned off during class.
Assignments:
Completion of iMovie of Studio Technique/Demonstration - 30
points
Students
will work in pairs and each
will be required to create and complete a 5-minutes or more iMovie of a
specific studio technique and demonstration. Each student will
complete an iMovie of a studio technique/demonstration complete with
edited clips, transitions, titles, and two tracks of audio – one of the
student partner speaking about the art studio technique and one with
music created in Garage Band and/or with copyright-free music.
Copyright-free music will ensure that the iMovie will not be taken off
of YouTube when uploaded. The criteria for assessing the quality
of
the iMovie will be determined with a rubric that will be distributed to
students during the class.
Completion
of iMovie of Artist Interview - 30 points
Students
will create and complete a 5-minutes or more
iMovie of an interview with a local (ABQ or NM) visual artist.
The
iMovie must include edited clips, transitions, titles, digital still
images of the artist’s work, and two tracks of audio – one of the
artist speaking about her/his work and one with music created in Garage
Band and/or with copyright-free music. The criteria for assessing
the
quality of the iMovie will be determined with a rubric that will be
distributed to students during the class.
Completion of
reflective exercises- 10 points
In-class
activities - 20 points (Grad students 30 points)
The
student will
be required to complete various
activities connected to learning iMovie during the class
sessions.
Therefore, class attendance is mandatory.
Completion of Assessment using Rubrics (2) - 10 points
(Graduate students will also complete two additional Rubric
Assessments) - 10 points
The
student will be required to assess two to four iMovies created by
students in the class using a rubric provided by the course
instructor. This gives students enrolled in the course
opportunities
to participate in and understand how to assess their future secondary
level or post-secondary level art students.
