Photography 2 is designed to further develop the skills and techniques acquired in Photography 1. Technical, manipulative and problem-solving skills through the production of quality photographic prints which make a strong visual statement will be emphasized. Students will evaluate their individual works and those of others through verbal or written critiques. The history and impact of visual communication in the 19th and 20th centuries will be explored through films, slides, and reports. (12/94)

There is considerable research on the academic value of students receiving instruction in the Visual. 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.
