3 Philosophy Art Education expands the mind. It sensitizes the child to new intellectual potentials. Perhaps the teaching of art, more than any other educational experience is concerned with growth of the human potential. -Nelson Rockefeller Art education expands the mind. It provides an opportunity to help students build meaningful connections among the various fields of learning though genuine experiences. The arts provide a means to develop each student s potential by building self-esteem and confidence, through problem solving, critical thinking, and the use of materials. Since art accommodates different learning styles while still requiring self-discipline, the role of art is significant in reaching the alienated and disadvantaged student. Art is a universal language providing a way to express feelings and ideas that words cannot convey. It offers a way of understanding oneself and it enables connections between art and our own culture and the cultures of diverse people. That is why art should be a central strand of the curriculum. Art is open to everyone. Art provides an opportunity for self-expression. Art sharpens awareness of the visual world. Art adjust to the individual s capabilities. Art allows for understanding of our cultural heritage. 1

4 2 Program Goals The goals of our education program are to promote the growth of every student in the following areas: 1. Perceptual and Intellectual Growth a.

6 4 Time Allotment For a dynamic, creative art education program to be successful, sufficient time should be allocated in the school day and it should be under the direction of a certified art specialist. Time allotments will be based on school, teacher, student and grade level interests. It is understood, however, that the students will experience all of the suggested areas. A minimum of one period, under the direction of an art specialist, per week is recommended. A period of 45 to 60 minutes is most desirable. Less than 45 minutes will not allow for studio type activities. Since art classes are predominately activity centered, they require adequate time to provide for; presenting and understanding historical eras and diverse cultures, working and creating individual art works, developing proper skills for using tools and materials, organizing classroom clean up, and reviewing concepts covered.

7 Assessment Art specialist will evaluate students in grades nine through twelve using the following criteria: Participation Teacher will make an assessment as to how well the student is prepared for class each day, attentiveness and energy to projects being created. Class participation follows through to project participation. Each student is expected to work to the best of their individual ability. Project Performance Students are expected to complete all projects assigned. Teacher will make an assessment as to students work based on their individual ability, following of directions, craftsmanship* and meeting the objectives of the given assignment. Care, Use and Maintenance of Materials Students will be evaluated on their use of tools and materials in the art room. Care and safety will be followed at all times. Students are expected to mirror the demonstrated application of tools and materials for expected outcome * The ability to demonstrate pride and neatness in ones own work. 5

8 6 Objectives The objectives listed in each unit are repeated several times during a school year, giving the students of Dumont the ability to approach the objectives at various maturity levels. The four areas of study are: 1) Art History and Culture, 2) Creation and Performance, 3) Aesthetic Application, 4) Critique and Responses, and these are incorporated into each unit. This gives the art specialist the ability to focus and enhance areas of needed concentration. In addition, it allows for the ability to bring in a discipline based art program that exposes the students to historical eras, and cultural diversity. When possible, the art curriculum may relate to other content disciplines. It is important however to maintain the integrity of the units when designing these interdisciplinary lessons. By effectively incorporating the art curriculum into other subject matter, students gain a deeper understanding of the importance of the arts in our everyday lives. This Drawing & Painting class, an advanced course, aims to give students the opportunity to express themselves visually as fine artists.

42 40 Glossary Design Elements 1. Line 2. Shape 3. Form A line is a distinct mark made by pen, pencil, chalk or tool having length but little breadth. The basic element in creating a good design is line for it is line that delineates shapes, encloses space, adds texture and value. Lines have values from light to dark and qualities such as thick, thin, jagged, wavy, etc. Line also has the power to convey emotion by combining qualities, value, and placement in the composition. For example, horizontal lines are considered to be restful, vertical lines inspirational, and diagonal lines dynamic. Line is often used in a larger sense when describing the essence of a work with an implication of rhythm, unity and balance. For example, one may speak of the lines of a building, the flowing lines of a dress, or the lines of a sculpture. Shape is an enclosed area defined two dimensionally by boundaries. Shape can be geometric or organic, positive or negative, simple or complex. Form is the existence of matter or objects in three-dimensional space. The draftsman and painter can create the illusion of mass, while the sculptor, architect, industrial designed and craftsman work directly with mass. Artists must consider the relationship of height, width, and depth relative to the media with which they work.

43 4. Space 5. Value 6. Color Space, the intervening expanse or interval between areas or masses, exists in its two dimensional or three dimensional aspects, flowing through and around mass, form and shape. On a flat picture plane, illusion of space and depth are created by placement of positive and negative shapes, by overlapping and by varying the size of shapes, by using value and color contrast, and by creating linear perspective. When working with three-dimensional forms, space and mass are interdependent, each delineating the other. Study of space as a design element can also deal with problems of open and congested space, deep and shallow space, personal space and space used to express subjective fantasy and optical illusion. Value is gradation of light. It enhances the quality as well as reveals the pattern or design in a work of art. It helps to create the mood and expression of the subject. Color is the visual property dependent upon response to light, including the attributes of hue, brightness and saturation. Colors, as sensations are the results of a sequence of processes including: the production of light by some source and the modification of the light by the illuminated object, the optics and physiology of the eye, and the physiology and psychology of the central nervous system. Color Mixing of primary, secondary, tertiary colors using The Prang color wheel (Red Yellow and Blue). 41

44 42 There are two ways of forming color: the additive process with light and the subtractive process with pigment. 7. Texture Texture is the surface quality, real or implied, which helps to identify or describe something. Texture is known actually through touch and visibly through sight. Textures can be soothing, pleasant and draw us to them. Others can be abrasive, unpleasant and repelling. Pronounced textures attract attention. Subtle and smooth textures are quieter and more reserved. The artist creates texture by the manipulation of lights and darks, choice of media and use of lines and colors. It is used to convey the characteristic surfaces of the subject matter and to create interest by variety, contrast and accent. The artist incorporates the many possibilities for achieving different textural qualities with materials to clarify and enhance a visual statement.

45 Design Principles 1. Unity Unity is the arrangement of individual parts or segments into a whole or complete design, which achieves and effect of wholeness or completeness. 2. Contrast Contrast is the way in which things differ. It is used so that the effect of the total project is heightened. Contrast may be natural or man-made; it is present in materials, in space and balance, time and motion, light and dark. 3. Balance Balance is equalizing the weight, number, or position of shape or forms in twodimensional or three-dimensional composition. The balanced arrangement and placement of the visual elements of a work of art establishes a harmonious relationship of these elements within a given space. The three types of balance used in creative works of art are: formal or symmetrical balance, informal or asymmetrical balance and radial balance. 4. Pattern Pattern is the repetition of design elements in a planned or random format. 5. Movement Movement is created by organizing the elements in a way that directs the viewer s eye to the focal point. It is the path our eyes follow when we look at a work of art. 43

46 44 6. Rhythm It is continuous yet is not monotonous. It is carried through the composition in a series of steps by means of lines, forms, values, hues, and intensities. Rhythm can be regular or irregular in a work of art. 7. Emphasis Emphasis is the forcefulness of expression that gives special importance to certain aspects of objects, ideas or situations. In art, emphasis is achieved by accentuating the various art elements in combination or alone.
