BIG IDEAS

IN ART WE WILL BE COVERING A VARIETY OF “BIG IDEAS” OR THEMES. BY EXPLORING ART IN THIS MANNER, THE STUDENTS CAN BECOME AWARE THAT MANY SUBJECTS OVERLAP. THINKING IN TERMS OF THEMES ALSO ALLOWS FOR THE CREATION OF GENUINE WORKS OF ART. THE DAYS OF MAKING MACARONI DUCKS JUST FOR FUN ARE OVER. THE ART ROOM IS STILL AS FUN AS EVER BUT IT IS ALSO A VALID AND NECCASSARY LEARNING ENVIRONMENT.

Being a writer

&

MAKING MEANING

STUDENTS IN ART CLASS THIS YEAR WILL BE EXPOSED TO MORE LITERATURE THAN EVER. WE WILL BE USING THE TEXTS FROM THE “BEING A WRITER” AND “MAKING MEANING” PROGRAMS TO PROVIDE BOTH INSPIRATION AND SUPPORT FOR THE TOPICS WE EXPLORE IN ART.

IN ADDITION TO THAT STUDENTS WILL USE THEIR OWN WRITING TO EXPLAIN, QUESTION, AND STRENTHEN THEIR ARTWORKS.
