The Teaching of Art Related to the Home: Suggestions for content and method in related art instruction in the vocational program in home economics
Fallgatter, Florence
Art -- Study and teaching; Home economics -- Study and teaching
In the earlier sections of this bulletin it has been suggested that the
first course or unit in art be chiefly concerned with the fundamental
principles of art and that applications of them be made in a great many
fields. It is anticipated that a detailed or complete study of art as
related to home furnishing or to clothing selection is to be given at
a later time as separate units or courses. It is, however, hoped that
the foundation course in art related to the home will give pupils such
training that they will be better able to solve their most common daily
problems in which art is an important factor, should they fail to have
opportunity to take units in home furnishing or clothing selection
later.
In schools having two semesters that can be devoted to related art,
it is recommended that the fundamental art course in which general
applications are to be made be given in the first semester and the
work of the second be composed of these more advanced units. When but
one semester is provided for related art work, additional units in
home furnishing and clothing selection should become a part of the
regular homemaking program, with several consecutive weeks planned
for each unit. These additional units offer fine opportunity for further
applications of the principles of art in judgment and creative problems
pertaining to home furnishing and clothing. Since the pupils will have
gained an art consciousness through the more general course in art
related to the home, and should have developed to a fair degree an
ability to recognize and use certain fundamental art principles, it may
be expected that the home furnishing and clothing selection units will
be built around the larger and more difficult judgment and creative
problems of selection, combination, arrangement, and rearrangement as
they are met in life.
