This is an introductory course to the Visual Arts focusing on many types of mediums in the art world so you can develop imagination, express yourself, and use art as a form of communication. Education in the arts improves teambuilding skills, critical thinking skills, complex problem skills, writing, self- confidence, literacy, decision- making, school achievement, and preparation for the work world. This course supports intellectual and educational development along with personal and social development. It is a beginner art course. Learning Goals: Students will be able to construct meanings about the world through art making; build upon experiences to express a personal vision; develop a global perspective and recognize the power of art to communicate beliefs and values. Students will be able to discuss works of art, develop observational skills, use a visual arts vocabulary, read and write about art to reinforce literary skills, and reflect on the process of making art. Students will be able to connect visual art to other disciplines and recognize cultural and historical significance of art. Students will be able to access primary resources in the community, the borough, and the city to extend their learning beyond the classroom. Students will gain awareness of careers in the visual arts, recognize personal, social, and professional goals, learn to works independently and in teams, and gain an appreciation of art as a source of enjoyment and life- long learning. 1
