Visual Arts 7 is a twelve
week course, with 90 minute classes meeting every other day. This course
focuses upon the studio units of drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics
and sculpture. The Art History units covered parallel the Social Studies
and English curriculum in order to provide students with a well rounded
foundation for the cultures they study. These cultures include
pre-historic times, Egypt, Greece, Rome, the Middle Ages, and the
Renaissance. In addition to the production of art works with a focus
on art history, students are also taught about Aesthetics, Philosophy and
Art Criticism through reading and writing assignments, as well as verbal
discussions and critiques. |
