AR 9103: Art 6
This nine-week course provides students the opportunity to explore art through a variety of artmaking processes while focusing on broad concepts/big ideas that make connections between art and life. The standards and objectives are organized into five specific content strands: Creative Process; Critical Thinking and Communication; History, Culture, and Citizenship; Innovation in the Arts; and Technique and Application. Students gain practical experience using a variety of art media, such as drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, digital design, and mixed-media. Students examine the importance of art in their own and other societies and identify some of the influences that art forms from the past have upon art forms of the present. Students develop visual literacy through written, visual, and verbal expression.
