This is a brand new course taught by Mrs. Ward that has an Art 1 prerequisite. Email her at natalie.ward@leanderisd.org with any questions about what this course entails.
Course Description:
Students will work as a collaborative group to direct their own large-scale art projects. Some of these projects will be completed in service of/collaboration with the community. These projects will be created using alternative media and processes covered in this course. This alternative media may include such processes as fiber art, bricolage (creating art from any materials that come to hand), jewelry making, bookbinding, performance/video art, mixed media, digital processes, large-scale installations, etc. Students will become voiced in contemporary art practices through exposure to contemporary/historical artists and experimentation with these alternative processes.
Upper Levels:
If you choose to take this course again for an Art 3 or Art 4 credit, you will be put in with the Art 2 class but expected to fill more of a leadership roll within in the class and help direct the class's large-scale projects.
