*Collaborative+Art

= WELCOME TO Collaborative Art!! =

THIS COURSE IS DESIGNED FOR 10-12 Grade Students
Students in Collaborative Art will explore the creative process within 2D media and 3D techniques. Students will be taught visual awareness and self-discovery through their art as well as collaborating with others to create art. Emphasis will be placed on demonstrating the use of techniques, creativity, originality, craftsmanship, classroom expectations, and self evaluation. Students will create a blog to showcase and discuss art.



= 9-12 ART STANDARDS - developed from the National Art Standards = *Each project created will be assessed on 4 standards. Standard 4B will be assessed at the end of the semester.

S.1. The artist can understand and apply media, techniques, and processes: The artist can use art processes and techniques previously practiced to create a unique work of art that meets project learning targets / goals and expectations. The artist also understands and can demonstrate processes and safety concerns involved for caring for art media / materials as well as utilizing resources and time effectively and efficiently. (project: application of techniques, creativity, process, and working procedures)

S.2. The artist uses knowledge of structures and functions: The artist can organize the components of a work of art into a cohesive and meaningful whole, such as organizational principles, expressive features and functional art to create a finished work of art. (project: use of elem. of art / principles of design and craftsmanship to function as intended)

S.3. The artist understands the visual arts in relation to history and cultures, can make interdisciplinary connections, and engage in 21 st cent. skills: The artist can research a variety of ideas in planning for own individual project. These researched ideas should also be shared within the final project reflection. (project process: research, planning, collaboration, communication, cross curricular connections)
