Inclusive Artmaking in High School Visual Arts Classes. by Gross, Kelly M. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR: "In this article, I examine inclusion, disability, image making, and representation through case studies in a high school setting. K–12 school settings often focus on student deficits; however, the theories of disability studies provide a critical model for understanding language, disability, and enabling structures that move away from deficit models. Grounded in a disability studies framework, I focus this article on students' capabilities to develop artmaking skills and the value of diverse image making. Although universal theories of artistic development exist, the literature review suggests that student artistic development varies. Through case studies, I examine inclusion for students with emotional disabilities using artwork, interviews, and observational data. I examine student artwork in terms of individual development of artmaking skills as measured quantitatively by a rubric. A qualitative analysis of student artwork and interviews reveals students' inclusion as an opportunity to become members of a community and create work that expresses individual viewpoints."

Social Emotional Learning in arts teacher education policy: a content analysis of assurance standards and course descriptions. by Hellman, Daniel S., and Milling, Stephanie ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR: "Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is a unifying framework for essential life skills, including self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationships, and responsible decision-making. In this article, we examine the intersection of SEL competencies with national accreditation policy, state standards, and course descriptions using curricular mapping and content analysis. Our findings revealed conceptual connections with differing degrees of alignment but no explicit mention of SEL. Arts accreditation standards had SEL intersections with foundations, development, communication and relationship building, curriculum and improvement. We recommend a closer synthesis between arts teacher education and SEL through greater attention to teacher identity, mental health awareness, self-awareness, self-management, diversity, and social justice in arts teacher education policy and recognize the possibilities for enhancing K-12 arts learning."
