Rebecca Riley
Rebecca.Riley@nhmccd.edu
           Hello!  I am your instructor for the Art Appreciation teleweb course.  I am the Dean of Arts and Humanities at Kingwood College.  I am also an artist, working mostly in printmaking, painting, and mixed media.  My work is currently shown is 5 galleries around the United States, and is in numerous private and corporate collections.  I have an M.F.A. degree from Texas Tech University in printmaking and art history.  My undergraduate degree is in painting and art history with a minor in ceramics.  In undergraduate school, I also had the good fortune to study at the Escola Nacional de Belas Artes in Rio de Janeiro for a year. 
Before I taught at Kingwood College, in addition to running my own studio, I did lots of other jobs to support my “art habit” (and my two children.)  I was a parochial school principal, a church organist, a pottery shop owner, a kindergarten teacher, a waitress, a typist, a bartender, an EMT, and (my personal favorite other than THIS job) a ski patrol at Angel Fire Resort in New Mexico.  I am married to a psychologist who is an Assistant Vice-President for Academic Affairs at the University of Houston-Downtown. (By the way, he never psychoanalyzes my work – he’s a smart man.)

Parents were so impressed and intrigued by their children s progress that a group of them asked Joyce to teach an adult class in art appreciation a class
http://www.nga.gov/education/renshaw.htm
Art Appreciation and the National Gallery's Videodisc
Starting with the idea of teaching art appreciation skills to her kindergarten students, Joyce Renshaw ended up developing her own curriculum in the visual arts using large scale art reproductions and the National Gallery of Art's videodisc Joyce's curriculum was the outgrowth of skills acquired in several art enrichment programs taken over the years. In 1989 she participated in the National Gallery's Teacher Institute where she and her colleagues studied multidisciplinary approaches to teaching American art, and in 1990, she returned for the program on French impressionism and postimpressionism. She has also participated in teacher institutes sponsored by the Getty Center for Education in the Arts, in which she was first introduced to art educator Edmund Feldman's methods of visual analysis and art criticism. Inspired in part by Feldman's progressive stages of visual analysis, Joyce developed a method for asking open-ended questions that allowed children to describe, analyze, and interpret what they see in a particular image. Called "Learning to Read Art," Joyce's teaching approach encourages students to begin by observing the structural elements of the work: the use of line, color, shape, texture, perspective, balance, repetition, rhythm, contrast, and emphasis in composition. They also study the work's historical context, including how it relates to styles of different periods and how it may reflect issues central to the artist's life and time period.

Introducing the Masters
A PTO-sponsored art appreciatiation program gives kids an edge
By Linda J. O'Gorman Four years ago, I became involved in what I think of as the most amazing program our PTO supports. It’s amazing because it has a small budget, it enables parents to work with classroom teachers to enhance the quality of their children’s education, the students love it, and the parents love it. The “it” I became involved in is an art appreciation program called Meet the Masters. It’s organized by our PTO’s art appreciation committee, which I co-chair. A program like this “can put more joy and more confidence into young people’s lives,” says Karen Cashman, who founded our art appreciation program here at Kings Road School, a K-6 elementary school in Madison, N.J. And she would know. Karen started the Kings Road program 18 years ago and has had college students write her thank-you notes saying they felt that they had an advantage over other students in their understanding of art and architecture. Another charter volunteer said of her daughter, who just graduated from college with an art history minor, “I truly believe her appreciation started here.”
Background and Objectives
The Kings Road School (KRS) art appreciation program was piloted in the 1985-86 school year, with the support of the PTO and the principal. The teachers, on the other hand, had some reservations about losing instruction time. Although that all changed when they saw the program in action, it is something to consider as you put your program together. Many states have developed rigorous curriculum standards. To be sure the teachers see your new art-appreciation program as supporting rather than stealing instructional time, you should include curriculum tie-in as one of the objectives.

Some say that art is man's loftiest endeavor a mortal attempt to be like God, to create something where there was nothing, to move the spirit and touch the soul. Others say that art is a load of sheep dip. Most of us fall somewhere in between, able to appreciate a pretty picture, but in constant amazement that "patrons" will pay $700,000 for a painting of a red square on a white background. The first thing you should know is that some art really is crap. The catch, though, is that nobody can agree on which art is crap. This means that if you learn the tricks, then you can fake an expertise in art analysis that would make Andy Warhol proud. Art appreciation is an easy fake, and you're about to learn how to do it. Who knows, you might even pick up a bit of genuine appreciation along the way. Don't get scared, it won't make you less of a man (even if you're a woman). One caveat here: some intellectual, pedantic, sipping-tea-with-their-pinkie-extended types think that all art should be interpreted literally. "What's important," they say condescendingly, "is knowing who Mona Lisa was, what she did for a living, what those trees in the background stand for, what Leonardo had for dinner the night he painted Mona," and so on. We take the position that this is garbage. As long as you can say something quasi-intelligent about the painting itself, you'll be leagues ahead of everyone else.

Now that you've got this art stuff nailed down, time to go to the museum and try it out on the plebes. Get there early, or whenever off-peak is. You want to see art, not the back of someone's head. Also remember to wear comfortable shoes you could easily walk a couple of miles in a large museum. Oh yeah, and print this out and take it with you. Here's what to do when standing in front of a work of art:
  • Stand in the right place - it's different for each work, so stand in a few different places to see what works best.
    Don't stand where the lights make a glare on the painting. If you see people crouched on the floor peering up, join them in trying to find that glare-free spot. It'll prove that you really are analyzing the painting instead of looking at it.

The Essence of Preference
(A short essay into writing) Dan Brady This is an essay concerning writing. I was with a group of writers and we were discussing various aspects of creativity, art, artists, and their productions. At some point in the discussion we began to talk about why people like, appreciate, or value a work of art when they could not give any conscious or rational reason for their preference. We wondered just what it was in a piece of artwork that made a viewer, listener, or reader respond positively even when they could not say why they did so. We mulled this over during the evening hours and we each made suppositions or proffered to the company the theories that we'd read or those that came to mind inspirationally during the meandering discourse. Later, I wrote down my thoughts and later still made amendments. This is a polishing of those notes. First let me say that it is hard for me to describe what I, as an artist, do even as I try to achieve a positive response from an audience. Artwork is a productive dialogue. I feel, artisans moderate a message from themselves through a symbolic format, a set of elements: imagery for painters, photographers, and graphic artists, words for writers and poets, the various media used by sculptors, or pure sound for the musician. The work of art is created by the artist in response to an inspirational event which is translated into the artwork. Since we will are talking about what is the essence of preference we will consider works of art that have audiences. But let us begin at the beginning, with inspiration, and then continue on to what I feel is a cause for the essence of preference.

(HOME) V ART APPRECIATION Have you heard the Taoist tale of the Taming of the Harp? Once in the hoary ages in the Ravine of Lungmen stood a Kiri tree, a veritable king of the forest. It reared its head to talk to the stars; its roots struck deep into the earth, mingling their bronzed coils with those of the silver dragon that slept beneath. And it came to pass that a mighty wizard made of this tree a wondrous harp, whose stubborn spirit should be tamed but by the greatest of musicians. For long the instrument was treasured by the Emperor of China, but all in vain were the efforts of those who in turn tried to draw melody from its strings. In response to their utmost strivings there came from the harp but harsh notes of disdain, ill-according with the songs they fain would sing. The harp refused to recognise a master.
At last came Peiwoh, the prince of harpists. With tender hand he caressed the harp as one might seek to soothe an unruly horse, and softly touched the chords. He sang of nature and the seasons, of high mountains and flowing waters, and all the memories of the tree awoke! Once more the sweet breath of spring played amidst its branches. The young cataracts, as they danced down the ravine, laughed to the budding flowers. Anon were heard the dreamy, voices of summer with its myriad insects, the gentle pattering of rain, the wail of the cuckoo. Hark! a tiger roars,the valley answers again. It is autumn; in the desert night, sharp like a sword gleams the moon upon the frosted grass. Now winter reigns, and through the snow-filled air swirl flocks of swans and rattling hailstones beat upon the boughs with fierce delight.

Web-Based Teaching Platform for Art Appreciation Classes at IUSB Project Goal
Design and creation of Web-site for art appreciation classes Type of Technology Used in the Project Executive Summary of Results Through this project the art history faculty IU South Bend, working with the faculty and students in Computer Graphics in the Purdue University School of Technology at South Bend, created a Web-based teaching platform, e-textbook and e-workbook for Art Appreciation classes. Need for the Project Briefly explain why you believed there was a need for your project and what teaching approach was used to address this need. Several years ago, we revised the way that art appreciation was taught at IU South Bend, moving from a single large lecture class to several smaller, seminar style sections. This enabled us to organize the classes around key issues (gender, ethnicity, role of art in society) directly related to the research strengths of the faculty, more effectively engage the students in class discussions, as well as introduce students to the materials and techniques of art making. However, we found our approach hamstrung because of our dependence on standard textbooks that are static, and limited to the point of view of the author, and produced with agendas and goals other than our own.

Doctors examine art
Art appreciation class improves student doctors' diagnosis.
12 September 2001 HELEN PEARSON Henry Wallis's 'The Death of Chatterton': putting the art into diagnostics. "Physicians should be more like Sherlock Holmes," says Irwin Braverman. His new research suggests that art-appreciation classes could teach medical students the sleuthing skills they need: trainee doctors' diagnoses improve after they have learnt how to look at the whole picture. Medical students often miss the details that clinch a diagnosis, says Braverman, of Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut. In an effort to overcome this observational blindness, he teamed up with the Yale Center for British Art to give first-year students a fine-art class. After only two hours spent studying a classical painting and being questioned on what they saw, students' diagnostic skills improved . They were better able to pick out key clues in patient photos than were a group who sat through an additional anatomy lecture. Art-appreciation classes are now part of the curriculum for all Yale medical students. Challenging students' assumptions "is exactly the kind of reasoning you try and provoke in clinical diagnosis", agrees John Spencer, who studies medical education at the University of Newcastle in England.
