Art Education & Human Development With Multicultural Perspectives (EDS-0121)

Fall 2023 · EDS 0121 · Tufts University · 3 credits · Undergraduate

This course considers human development from early childhood through adolescence and its relevance in creating a cohesive, culturally responsive, and appropriate art curriculum in PK-12 schools. Through seminar discussions and assignments focused on the role of art in human development and learning, students will learn how to cultivate a classroom culture centered on cultural diversity, inquiry driven learning, and empathy. Special attention is paid to how art educators engage youth in studying, critiquing, and creating visual art while considering multicultural education theory and the role that art plays in learning. This course will meet in person at the SMFA, several classes will meet at the MFA and some classes will meet synchronously on Zoom.
