Joy Liu - Art Education Overview
- 1. joy liu art educator ooooooo My background is in developing and teaching art, visual culture, and multimedia curriculum and programs for schools and museums in the United States and abroad. I have taught in youth homes, detention centers, prisons, and various youth and community organizations. Aside from teaching art theory and principles, I use art and digital mediums to teach and explore different learning and subject areas such as literacy, life-skills, and social and environmental issues.

- 4. exploring art and visual culture University of Arizona I taught a semester-long course for undergraduate students ages 17-26. The course objects ranged from understanding art/visual culture in relationship to society to becoming familiar the process of making art in a variety of mediums (drawing, blockprinting, photography, digital art, journal writing, etc). Examples of their work follows
- 5. block printing theme: social change
- 9. vision and voice: photoblogging theme: why does art matter? Mediums used: - Writing - Photography - Digital Art - Photoblogging

- Artists' Statement In conjuring up ways of learning, the human mind begins to think about school and the associated lectures, textbooks, projects, and essays, but rarely is the possibility of art in education considered. While arts importance manifests itself in a multi-faceted fashion, its value to society as a whole is enhanced by its ability to facilitate learning. In particular, photographic artwork of public places can instruct an audience in a range of subjects and phenomena. The photographic collection of the Meinel Optical Sciences building at the University of Arizona was rendered by the artists to depict and chronicle scientific properties of optical illusions such as reflection, movement, light, and crystalline properties. Specifically, we sought out scenes that would clearly demonstrate these properties to the casual observer along with an aesthetically pleasing, artistic flair. Upon the completion of the photo shoot, we were exceedingly delighted with the quality of the images, as they incorporated various fundamental principles of composition while also showing our central theme. Overall, artwork aids in the learning process with a visual presentation of concepts which can pique the interest of those that might not otherwise study a subject. In visually displaying a concept or idea, art can supplements ones knowledge of a particular subject in a manner that a textbooks account cannot reveal. Capturing various photos of the telescope on display, the image we selected for the blog was a relatively easy choice with its clarity of focus and excellent angle. For instance, the photograph entitled Telescopes Perception illustrates the reflective properties of the internal mirrors and lenses as the visible full spectrum of light called color aberrations appears at the bottom right of the photograph due to the angle of the suns rays. While the scientific properties of lenses and light can be studied mathematically in any physics textbook, the actual observance of this phenomenon remains breathtaking, of which mere words on a page do not do justice to the aura of the image. Thus, artwork further enhances the learning process beyond a textbook as it instructs us about perspective and how the eye sees optical illusions. In addition to art aiding in visual education, it also provides education to laypersons in a subject that they may not otherwise be inclined to study. To demonstrate this function of art, we took multiple photos of the crystal in front of the building, and choose the final photograph based on the outstanding framing and positioning of the elements of composition. Within the photograph entitled Crystalline Structures (View 1), the casual observer astutely notices that crystals exemplify translucent qualities, remain smooth to the touch, and are broken along jagged, lattice structured lines. Thus, artwork (photograph) allows non-science experts to examine the properties of crystals, a subject they would not usually study, broadening their minds with visual media. Rather than presenting the viewer with an overtly technical and mathematical explanation of the molecular structure of crystals, this artwork creates a sense of understanding by means of the physical observations with an individuals own eyes. Due to arts ability to help us learn visually, it can broaden ones knowledge base, and serves as an indispensible resource to society, demonstrated by the artistic creations in the photo blog Art Helps Us Learn. Ultimately, after screening through thirty photographs, we opted to utilize nine images in the photo blog that reflected the theme most clearly using accepted principles of art. Often overlooked in place of formalism, beauty, and idea, arts facilitation of learning cannot be ignored in the consideration of the time honored question: Why does art matter? In fact, many natural phenomena like optical illusions would be stripped of their splendor and sublime beauty without art.
