    This is a 10 week overview of the "Visual Arts".                                                           Students will continue EXPLORING the Elements and Principles of Art and Design            using traditional art materials as well as technology to create personal works of art. They will continue to learn about new art materials and techniques, and review ways to discuss art work (critique)  by both established artists,  art  made by themselves and their peers. Together we will study how other cultures create art and how those cultures cross borders...into their world.

       Rachel's Challenge Sculptures
      Once again, we brainstormed the themes from Rachel's challenge.
      After exploring word lists, we cut as many printed words as we
      could find that were examples: eliminating prejudice and l ooking for the
      best in others, setting goals; keep a journal, choose your influences, use 
      kind works, and perform small acts of kindness.
     
      We learned the proportions of human figures, we exploredgesture drawing, and   
      then mades wire armetures as the core of our figures. Then we wrapped them in 
      plaster strips, paint and our collaged words. It was a lot of fun.

       Students explore, discover and understand by creating art work
       using the different techniques to sculpt a 3 dimensional artwork:
       Subtractive, Additive and Assembled. 
       The sculptures of artists, art movements and styles are explored
       and discussed during the course. http://hirshhorn.si.edu/

    Multicultural Crafts/ArtSeminar                                                                                                         
    Crafts are not just glued popsicle sticks and dried flowers, they are the
    functional-objects that people use in everyday life. Many cultures
    (including our own) believe that  these objects must be "aesthetically" pleasing; art. Students create "functional" art based on the history and traditions of  cultures here and around the world. Check out the
    Museum of Art and Design for awesome examples of "fine-craft".

    Media Arts/Graphic Design
    In this section, students explore the marriage between images and type (letters).
    The artists and design movements that we will look at  give amazing examples of successful visual communication. Some use of software will be used along with traditional art materials. To view some information and graphic design go to the American Institute of Graphic Arts, also known as AIGA.
