Printmaking, Level 2 Art

Printmaking 2 provides an opportunity for students to learn and develop skills in advanced multiple printing processes. Individual problem solving through study and application of advanced techniques in wood and linoleum cutting, intaglio, stencil, silk screen, and lithography will be emphasized. Class activities will include the application of printing processes with other art forms, i.e., sculpture, painting, and drawing. Cultural and appreciative aspects of art history will be incorporated through various instructional media and sources. (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.
