COURSE NAME: ART III

STUDENT WORK WILL FOCUS UPON THE FOLLOWING NHS EXPECTATIONS FOR STUDENT LEARNING: Adaptable Learners, Responsible Citizens, Reflective Problem Solvers, Effective Readers, Effective Listeners, Effective Readers, Effective Writers, and Effective Speakers. Speakers  (We will make a class decision and arrive at two of these expectations on the first day of the course.)

Course Expectations: A large portion of the year will be devoted to studying the masters in the history of art and generating art work based on concepts learned through these investigations. Students will continue to make art for the most part based on life observations. Some of the subject matter for inspiration will include awareness and understanding of chosen current societal topics as it is the instructor’s belief that art is indeed a reflection of society. Students will be given learning scenarios that provide for “thinking out of the box” in order to foster creativity.  Students should have a sincere interest in the art making process and art appreciation.

Term IV will be devoted to a study of a refined interdisciplinary topic formulated at “Project Zero” and Harvard University, based on economic principals of globalization and basic principals in physics and engineering. Media will include and may not be limited to painting, drawing, printmaking, mixed media, and mixed media sculpture.

Most of our class time will be spent working with the aforementioned mediums as hands on experience.  Students will be placed into Art IV by the instructor at the beginning of the year and will be expected to follow that curriculum level of lessons throughout the course.  Each student will be expected to participate in peer critiquing and art appreciation projects.  This class is run as an open studio that requires maturity from students and encourages an atmosphere of cooperative learning.

ALL STUDENTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THREE WORKS OF ART FOR OUR FINE ARTS FESTIVAL IN MARCH.  STUDENTS MAY ALSO HAVE WORKS SELECTED FOR EXHIBITS AT THE ”JAMES LIBRARY,” THE “SOUTH SHORE NATURE SCIENCE CENTER,” THE “TRAVELING ART EXHBITION,” AND THE “BOSTON GLOBE SCHOLASTIC ART AWARDS.”

COURSE SKILLS/CONCEPTS: Each student will have an individualized course of study, therefore it is impossible to list all of the concepts that will be covered.  However all students will be exposed to the following: Contour line and gesture drawing, rendering lighted three dimensional forms, researching, public speaking, sources of energy, science of motion, and globalized economic principals.

MAJOR UNITS: Primitive Art, Egyptian Art, Buddhist Art, Islamic Art, Chinese Art, Holland 17^th century, Mannerism, 19^th Century.  Drawing from direct observation and imagination, peer critiquing (all year), Portraiture, figure drawing, technology, color theory (all year), mixed media sculptural methods, field trips for first hand observation at local museums and galleries, and study of modern trends in art history.

TEXTS AND REQUIREMENTS/ MATERIALS: Students will use “The Story of Art,” by E.H. Gombrich Internet as a major source for research and study concerning artists and artistic trends. Readings from “The World is Flat” by Thomas L. Friedman for a study of global economics.  Because different students will have the choice of varying media, (listed under the “Course Expectations”) it is virtually impossible to list all of the specific materials they will be working with.
