What does this look like in the Art room?
Memorizing/Knowing Stuff Can you recall or remember information? These are the basics of all learning. Do not make the mistake in thinking that because knowledge is not the highest level of learning that it can be ignored. These things are very important because without a strong, stable base, future learning becomes very shaky. These are the basics you need to know for an assignment, project, or just to function smoothly in the classroom.
Some examples in the Art room: Basic color theory. Red+Yellow=? After Kindergarten/First grade, you should not
have to ask!
What is a form?
How many dimensions does a prism have? Or for that matter, any form?
What is a shape?
What are methods of creating space in a picture?
Where are the materials located in the room?
What are the cleanup procedures for a given material?
What are the Elements and Principles of Design?
What are the definitions of vocabulary words?
What is the name of a work of art?
What is the name of the artist?
What did someone do?
Memorizing and Knowing Stuff is the Who? What? When? Where? How? Why? of any discipline. It is basic and necessary.
Skills developed: Describe, match, recognize, collect info/data, listen, record, recall from memory, refine, tell, define, make observations, name, list, label...STUFF!

Understanding/Explaining Stuff Can you explain concepts or ideas? This is the next next level of learning. It may seem seem like a simple idea, but you can't understand stuff you don't know. Once you know stuff you have to work to understand it. Can you interpret information? Can you explain what a form is? Can you recognize an artist's work from their style? Can you summarize or sequence the steps to complete a project?
Skills developed: Classify, group, sort, summarize, clarify, recognize, infer, categorize, sequence, compare, contrast, determine, identify, distinguish, describe...STUFF!

Applying/Using Stuff Can you use what you have learned? This is the doing part of learning and where you demonstrate you know and understand stuff. If you know red and yellow mix to create orange, then you should be able to show you can mix orange and use it in your work. Now, you may not get the orange you want, but that may take a greater understanding and knowledge of color theory.
Skills developed: Practice, experiment, select/use ideas, execute, produce, demonstrate, identify, organize, construct, plan, build, wonder, hypothesize, predict, infer, complete...STUFF!

Analyzing/Questioning Stuff Can you take stuff apart? Can you/do you question stuff? Can you demonstrate that you can analyze results by breaking ideas, concepts, principles, theories, techniques and procedures, into their component parts? Can you explain the logical interconnections of the parts.? Can you also develop detailed cause and effect sequences? Are you able to explain why you did what you did?
Skills developed: Examine, compare, contrast, distinguish, interpret, illustrate, classify, change, inspect, differentiate, discover, conclude, manipulate, modify...STUFF!

Evaluating/Justifying Stuff Do you have have the ability to judge and appreciate the value of ideas, concepts, principles, theories, techniques and procedures using appropriate criteria? Do you demonstrate that you can select, judge, or appreciate a process, a method, a model, a design, etc. using appropriate criteria or standards? This level requires Knowing, Understanding, Applying, and Analyzing levels of Bloom's Taxonomy.
Skills developed: Justify, decide, test, prove, value, recommend, rate, critique, assess, argue, defend...STUFF!

Creating/Putting Stuff Together This is where you put everything together.
This is the highest level of learning, and all of the previous levels need to work in harmony for your creation to turn out well. If you do not remember information, do not understand concepts, are not able to use what you know, or analyze or evaluate whether what you have done works, the final creation will be less effective. Do you have the ability to assemble parts and elements into a unified composition or whole that requires original or creative thinking? Do you demonstrate that you can combine ideas into a statement, a plan, or a product that includes the best parts of each of these ideas?
Skills developed: Combine, transform, contrast, develop, imagine, design, change, improve, discuss, explain, fabricate, invent, suppose, organize, reorganize, construct, compose...STUFF!
