We found that many secondary teachers are not using the best methods for teaching art vocabulary effectively. The lack of research that has been published and been made widely available to art teachers is a contributing factor. Art classes at the secondary level are general education classes. They are not just for teaching students how to create art but also how to look at it, and to talk about it. When art vocabulary is not taught effectively the students who are not as interested in making art miss out on being able to appreciate art in its entirety. Art vocabulary also gives us the vocabulary and skills to look at and break down any image and find its underlying meaning. In a culture that is based on image and information, being educated about what is seen enables us to be more conscious and conscientious people.
We have posted effective methods for teaching art vocabulary earlier. Using a combination of these methods works the best.
