Mrs.  Weis – Talented Art I -IV

Students will assemble a body of artwork that demonstrates content, technique, process, and a high level of quality and growth over time. During the year, students will work in and out of class to produce a portfolio, complete one-two sketchbook assignments per week, and will participate in group and personal critique sessions. This course emphasizes art making as an ongoing process that involves the student in  informed and critical decision making. Students will continue in purposeful decision making about how to use the elements and principles of art in an integrative way. The principles of design (balance, contrast, emphasis, movement, pattern rhythm/repetition, unity/variety), articulated through the visual elements (line, shape, color, value, texture, space), with proportion/scale and figure/ground relationships help guide artists in organizing compositions to communicate content. Good design is possible whether one uses representational, abstract, or expressive approaches to making art!
