Learning Objectives
Student will develop and expand visual literacy skills using critical thinking, imagination, and the senses to observe and
explore the world by learning about, understanding, and applying the elements of art, principles of design, and
expressive qualities. The student uses what the student sees, knows, and has experienced as sources for examining,
understanding, and creating original artwork.
Student communicates ideas through original artwork and writing using a variety of media with appropriate skills. The
student expresses thoughts and ideas creatively while challenging the imagination, fostering reflective thinking, and
developing disciplined effort and progressive problem-solving skills.
Student will evaluate and analyze artwork using a verbal or written method of critique such as describing the artwork, analyzing the way it is organized, interpreting the artist's intention, and evaluating the success of the artwork.
The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep.
