Art 2

Class overview

This course is intended to continue introducing students to new Art forms and practices. We will utilize various materials and methods for creating artworks as students explore the “Big Ideas” of Identity, Story, and Expression. 

• We will continue to expand on foundations of observation and perception.
• We will build students capacity for creative expression.
• We will seek to enhance understanding of historical and cultural relevance, as they relate to art and art making.
• We will grow students’ abilities in critical evaluation and response. 

The class will focus on building students’ basic skills and understandings in these areas. We will also work to equip students to engage in critical analysis of artworks for the purpose of building critical thinking abilities, visual literacy, and conceptual competence.
