Intro to Visual Art
In order to break the rules you need to know what they
are. Learn the elements of art and the language to unlock its
mysteries. Armed with this information take charge of the media to
express yourself in two and three dimensional works of art. Then learn
what works.There is considerable research on the academic value of students receiving
instruction in the Visual Arts. All District 11 art classes
are taught by qualified art teachers. Students will learn the elements of
art and principles of design. They will learn about art in relation to
history, culture, and the community. They will also recognize and use the
visual arts as a form of communication, and will critique works of art
through analysis, assessment, and evaluation. As we progress into the second
quarter, more formalized assessments of each student's
level of mastery begin and continue
throughout the year.
