Art Room

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ART........................

The Minnesota Academic Standards for Fine Arts include Connect along with Create and Reflect to enable students to reach artistic literacy.

Each Art Class usually consists of two parts:

1. Art History – We review Art Words, discuss famous artists and learn about a variety of cultures. We do this through looking at works of art, reading books, discussions, games and movement activities (to learn through our brains AND our bodies).

2.Art Creation – We apply what we have learned to our own unique piece of artwork.

ART CLASSROOM CODE OF CONDUCT:

OUR GOAL IS A POSITIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH ALL STUDENTS HAVE EQUAL ACCESS AND OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN.

Below are five expectations which are strategies to help you improve and enrich your academic experiences, art projects, and yourselves as citizens...

• 1. WE RESPECT

  2. WE LEARN WHEN WE LISTEN 

  3. WE USE “12 INCH” VOICE VOLUME/QUIET VOICE

  4. WE ARE PRODUCTIVE

  5. WE DESIRE TO TRY: Whether you think you are an artist or not, whether you can draw well or not, whether you have talent or not, are not important issues in this class. Your desire to try your hand at new art processes and willingness to participate are what counts.

Student Success Criteria:

Assessment is based on a rubric that is presented at the beginning of each assignment. Student success criteria will reflect understanding of concepts (shown in your work). These are expectations to be follow on assignments:

-YOUR NAME/TEACHER ON IT
