Calligraphy, Level 2 Art
Calligraphy 2 is an advanced
course designed for the student who desires to further
develop the skills and techniques acquired in
Calligraphy 1. Emphasis will be on in-depth experiences
and will include: advanced layout design, illuminated
letters, and at least one individualized major project
in which the students will utilize lettering skills in
their particular area of concentration. The cultural and
appreciative aspects of art are incorporated into the
course through various instructional resources and art
production experiences. (12/94)
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. Informal and formalized assessments of each
student's level of mastery begin and continue throughout
the course. |
