Course Description/Rationale The Studio in Art I course is for students who desire breadth of learning in the visual arts as part of their general education and for students who plan to elect further courses/studies in order to develop their art where they will transform depth of learning. Students will engage in and synthesize a variety of experiences while making meaning based upon the acquisition and understanding of skills and processes and the application of that knowledge using the formal Elements of Art and Principles of Design as a framework. In order for there to be a balance of learning in both 2 and 3 dimensional processes and techniques, students will explore a variety of materials and techniques specific to their intent that will function as scaffolding. Students will also acquire responsibilities for the caring of supplies and equipment during the process of making art. We will underscore the relevance and usefulness of observational drawing and how it relates to other disciplines. We learn to draw to document our imagination, whether our purpose is to design the first artificial heart valve or draw one s bookbag as a still life. Drawing will be reintroduced throughout the course. The results of the dramatic changes to the content of Studio in Art II: supplanting architectural studies with new digital media, presents an opportunity to revise the content of Studio in Art I with the intent of embedding creative design habits of mind and model making that translates into original student outcomes with real life applications. Students will produce meaning as opposed to reproducing meaning. Creativity and art making possess the original mindset of the maker process/philosophy that enables students to transform intent and a choice of materials into an innovative product that represents the map of imagination and is a result of problem solving while considering aesthetics. Creative thinking has many components and possible constructs. For example, when Calder invented the mobile, his intent was to imbue a sculpture with the delicate movement of air. Calder s problem would translate well into an essential question that would cause students to reflect and interpret rather than comply with directions, How can we include movement in an object/sculpture? Calder s original sculptures were made in miniatures that had a base that rested on a surface. Calder extended his thinking/learning to include a way to hang his art while increasing it in scale. In response to the rationale, teachers will need to emphasize the essential question as a way of enforcing the purpose of the learning and to extend the learning. This is how our revisions to Studio in Art I will function. Another component of the revision is for students to learn to design a built structure to scale while considering multiple objectives for personal use. At the same time, students will learn that proportion is central to design. The most effective way for students to learn proportion and ratio is to observe and understand the human body for it s own qualities and properties (art) and what relationship the human body has with objects and the built and natural environment (art, design and architecture). For example, how large should a cell phone be in order to comfortably fit into a human hand? How do we decide on the dimensions for a doorway into our bedroom, into a living room or the school library to comfortably allow for 1 or 2 people to enter? In the original writing of the Studio in Art I curriculum, many sound lesson ideas and processes were included. Teachers can use any of those lessons and add the shift in mindset of the Revised version; adding essential questions, purpose of lesson/unit, calendar map, technology component and original outcomes driven by 2
student choices with differentiation for all students. Differentiation will be given to gifted and talented students who exhibit exemplary skills and the ability to synthesize intent and creativity. Art is a readable language. Students will be encourage to find one s voice, not just copy someone else s artwork or photograph from the internet. Visual plagiary must be avoided. To that end as Jasper Johns remarked, Take an object. Do something to it. Do something else to it. Of course you can apply this thinking to an image as well. This is a full year course. The State Education Department recommends this course to meet the Art/Music requirement for the high school diploma.

Unit 4 Fusing Self and Animal Essential Questions How can we build on prior knowledge of facial anatomy to include an animal we identify with? What form would it take (composition)? How can we show evidence of mastery of value shading to show realism and understand how expression is created through emotion, while creating an imaginary self portrait fusing self and animal? How can we draw/paint the texture of animal fur or skin using materials already learned plus watercolor paint? How can we show negative space using watercolors on paper? How do we use watercolor paint to show values? What type of environment will we include in our work for our self/animal? What can we study to understand an animal s characteristics and movement? How can we control/not control watercolor paint to get the effect we want and find new effects? Content map/calendar Unit 4 Mid Nov Early December Description Time Frame CCLS Connection NYS Standards for Art Fusing Animal and Self Students will learn that our facial muscles show emotion we feel known as expression.
