Art
We will be working hard this year to align assignments with the Visual Arts Content Standards. The Artistic Perception standard stresses the need for students at this grade level to analyze and justify how their artistic choices contribute to the expressive quality of their own work of art through their knowledge of the Elements of Art and the Principals of Design.
Aesthetic Valuing is another Visual Art Content Standard. Students will see and analyze famous works of art. Each day of class will begin with students seeing a famous piece of art work and sketching it onto a portfolio with pertinent information which includes Historical and Cultural Context.
Creative Expression is a Visual Art Content Standard practiced through the application of artistic processes and skills using a variety of media. Advanced Art students will demonstrate an increased knowledge of technical skills in using more complex media and processes.
