Experimental Studio in Art

Transcription

1 Prerequisite: Exploring Art Credit Value: 5 ABSTRACT Students in the full-year course apply a variety of media, such as pen and ink, paint, and clay. The study of art history and aesthetic thought builds evaluative skills and creative techniques. The lives and times of representative artists are examined to provide students with the historical and cultural context in which the artists worked. Personal sketchbooks and work journals document students' progress as they study and apply the elements of art, principles of design, and technological advances in art. Emphasis is placed on the development of an appreciation of the artists' work and purpose. Successful completion of Experimental Studio in Art fulfills the NJ state graduation requirement for visual arts. Adopted by the Somerville Board of Education on
