The emphasis of this study will be upon creative problem solving. Students will use the language of art criticism and aesthetics to describe, analyze, and evaluate their own and others' works of art in periodic class critiques. Through the process of first creating and then discussing the product and process of art-making, students will begin to solve a variety of problems concerned with the practical and theoretical expression of thought and form. Students will come to understand that the creative process constitutes the mind's best workmade possible because of God's love for us and wish for us to express our love for Him. The assignments the students will undertake in this class will be geared toward learning important conceptsnot merely playing with art materials or making pretty things! Students will be taught basic art concepts that will include accurate measuring, linear perspective, human proportion, color theory, and the cultural and historic events and people who have shaped us. MAJOR CONCEPTS/CONTENT The content should include, but not be limited to, the following: use of tools and materials three-dimensional media, technology, and processes perception and observation imagery and visual language composition and design critical thinking and analysis historical and cultural perspectives connections between visual arts and other subject areas personal and social benefits career opportunities REQUIRED MATERIALS Drawing pencils. A regular, #2 medium pencil. PLEASE! NO AUTOMATIC PENCILS! This is the only item the students must provide themselves. STUDENTS MUST COME TO CLASS WITH A PENCIL AT ALL TIMES! Students without a pencil may purchase one in class. Portfolio. This will be made in class using a large sheet of poster board, and is intended for use as a place for all completed and graded drawings of projects and homework drawings. This portfolio will become a history of the students' progress in class and must be kept intactcontaining all completed work. During the quarter, it will be available to students, administration, and parents as an indication of learning, skill level, and the students' commitment to work. This portfolio will be stored in the classroom in an area assigned to each class. ASSESSMENT/GRADING Assignments will be evaluated based upon the following criteria: CONCEPT idea, intention and meaning. Does the artwork clearly communicate something to other viewers? 25% CREATIVITY originality of thought and expression. Does the artwork show innovation and uniqueness? Does the artist solve the given assignment problem in an expected or unexpected way? 25% COMPOSITION arrangement and organization of elements. Has the artist carefully considered elements such as balance, proportion, texture, color, shape, and positive/negative space? 25% CRAFTSMANSHIP attention to detail. Does the artist skillfully manipulate the images? Are all details carefully finished and/or intentional-looking? 25% In-Class Assignments Approximately 50% of the student's grade is based on in-class assignments. Students will be given an assignment approximately once a week. Some projects may require a longer time. The due date and all requirements will be announced when the assignment is explained. Students will turn their signed project in on the due date. Late work, unsigned work, and make-up/extra credit work will not be accepted! If the project is not in the assignment folder at the close of class on the due date, the student will receive a 0 for the assignment. Students are responsible for making sure the artwork is turned in on time. There will be no extensions for late work. Any work in the assignment folder will be graded AS IS. Students can improve their grade by: Working from the time they get to class until clean-up Turning ALL assignments in on time Following assignment directions Weekly Drawings Approximately 50% of the student's grade is based on weekly homework drawing assignments: Drawings will be due on the last meeting day of each week at the beginning of the period. All drawings will have an accompanying journal entry on the back. This is to be: 1 paragraph in length (50 words) and is to be a description of the drawing why you drew it, what it represents for you, and something about the process of creating itwhat you learned by doing it, what was difficult, challenging, etc. Failure to submit a drawing will result in a 0. If a student is absent the day a drawing is due, it must be handed in on the first day that the student returns to class; failure to do so will result in a 0. No class time is given for drawing assignments. All are done outside of class and are collected at the beginning of the period on the date due. Topics for subject matter will be given one week in advance. Students must work with required topic or subject matter. A class that does thoughtful, well-done drawings will be rewarded by having a choice assignment no topic will be assigned students may choose what they wish to draw. Approximately 50% of the student grade is based on weekly homework drawing assignments, therefore it is very important that students realize the full impact that drawings have on their final grade. Drawings play an important role in the development of artistic concepts, the exploration of design and compositional ideas, and the development of the artist's proficiency level. Drawings are to be viewed as completed drawingsthe entire page of paper should be taken into consideration when planning the composition of the drawing. Students who take time and care with their drawings will receive a grade based upon the effort shown. Poorly done drawings, scribbles, doodles or cartoons are not acceptable and will result in a poor grade. Drawings are to be the work of the student! No parent's, sibling's, or friend's "help," please! Student's ARE NOT graded on "talent!" Proficiency in art is a skill that can be learned through diligence, commitment, and a sincere desire to improve upon the natural abilities given to each of us by God. Becoming more skilled in art is why we're here! *A Note on Grading ~ In some art classrooms, emphasis is often placed on encouraging children and promoting their self-esteem by "rewarding" them with good grades. While I do not adhere to this practice, it is necessary to have some means of measuring students' efforts in this class. I have endeavored to make this system as fair and objective as possible by implementing a rubric which I use to assess class worka copy is posted in the classroom. The grades a student receives in this class will be those earned through effort, compared against previous efforts and potential. RULES All school rules as stated in the student handbook apply. Please be especially aware of the following: CELL PHONES, MP3 PLAYERS, ELECTRONIC DEVICES, CD Players, etc.Are NOT acceptable in class! Leave them outside the room! Any student using any of above will receive a detention, and the device will be confiscated and sent to the office. This is a Level 1 offense. Destroying any tools or equipment, intentional messes, or destroying another students project is a Level 2 offense. THROWING ANYTHING IS A LEVEL 3 OFFENSE! Tardies either to- or from class to another class will not be tolerated! I will NOT write late-slips to your next class because you are still working when the bell rings! Each student must clean up his or her own work areano exceptions! The art room must be returned to a neat and orderly state each class period: tools put away, counters and tables wiped off with a CLEAN sponge and water, sponges RINSED and returned to shelf near sinkroom left clean and neat for next class. A NOTE TO PARENTS: In our study of art, we will be looking at many examples of work throughout the ages produced by artists from all cultures. I want you to know that I will strive to "edit" what I show to our students as to content, and hope that the examples we look at will be what we all will consider appropriate to their ages and maturity level. I would never wish to offend anyone, and will try to the best of my ability to allow Christian principles to guide my choice of materials at all times. Your suggestions and communications are encouraged. I can be reached by e-mail ( HYPERLINK "mailto:judy.langgood@chbs.org." judy.langgood@chbs.org.) or I will be happy to return your phone calls.
