You'll be starting by selecting a Learning Target below. Since this is a "Choice-Based" art class, meaning you are the artist and choose what and how you create your work, you'll have to choose a learning target that best meets what you are trying to accomplish. This gives your teacher and you a way to communicate about your work in class daily and summarizes your art piece when finished.
So here's how it works: You choose the standard that best meets what you want to do in class for the week. Then, you write down a sentence that personalizes it for you.
For example, lets say you want to paint butterflies in a style like the artist Seraut. You will select: I am Inspired: I will consider how artists, artwork or art concept inspire me.
Next, you individualize it: I will consider how George Seraut painted the "Eiffel Tower".
