ART

Information

Mission Statement

Students of art will engage in art production, as well as a study of art heritage, art criticism and aesthetics. They will develop perceptual awareness, creativity, self-expression, aesthetic literacy, problem solving and critical thinking skills. Through the study of art, students will have enhanced self-esteem, self awareness, and an understanding of past and present world cultures.

Students will:

· explore a variety of media and methods

· practice and improve technical skills

· communicate with other people through visual images

· have confidence in their abilities as artists

· participate in critiques and develop confident aesthetic judgments

· experiment with divergent and original thinking and solutions to problems

· make connections between art and their everyday lives, other disciplines and other times and cultures

Class Behavior

If a student has trouble following the Eagle Way in Art Class, he or she will receive a warning, a reminder, and then a flight plan. If the incident is serious, or if a pattern develops, I will contact you as well. Please feel free to contact me at any time with your questions or concerns. Below, you will find a copy of the Eagle Way in the art classroom. I look forward to a productive and inspiring year with the students. Thank you for your support and cooperation.
