Art Education in Fulton County is based on an approach known as Discipline-Based Art Education (DBAE). Discipline-based art education draws its content from four areas of instruction:
1. Art Production
(making art)
A purposeful hands on experience, using ideas, art tools and materials.
2. Art History (exploring the
artistic heritage of many cultures)
The study of art works, artists, styles, and events that influenced them to connect art to historical and cultural understandings.
3. Art Criticism (analyzing the
qualities and features of art)
As students learn the language of art and how to critique art, they learn to support and defend their likes and dislikes with reasons rather than options.
4. Aesthetics (thinking
about art and making well-reasoned judgments about art)
When children learn, think and talk about aesthetic questions they begin to understand and generate their own ideas about art, culture, and the human condition.
"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he
grows up." -Pablo Picasso
