DeDe Tersteeg, art teacher at the Blue Ridge School District, will co-present
research she developed with a team of arts educators in Pennsylvania
on teaching aesthetics at the National Art Education Conference in April.
The content of the proposal focuses on how students learn aesthetics
in art and arts related disciplines. In the fall of 2002, Mrs. Tersteeg
and her arts colleagues were given the task by the Pennsylvania Department
of Education to develop an on-line arts course for Pennsylvania arts
educators and K-6 generalist teachers. The team selected aesthetics
in order to acquaint teachers with the understanding of how students
analyze and synthesize key concepts in studying what is beauty and what
is art. The on-line course will present teachers with visual activities
to interact with and arts related models to respond to, in order to
understand and assess their own knowledge of aesthetics. The culmination
of the team’s research and course content will be available for
Pennsylvania educators on the PDE website, in the fall, for ACT 48 hours.
