The visual art suite will provide students with the foundational skills to be successful in a studio environment. Using the Elements of Art and Principles of Design as the framework, students will feel confident in creating their art style. Students will explore and safely operate various materials during the creative process. The courses explicitly teach art techniques through modeling and connecting them to master artists. Students will apply art vocabulary, procedures, time management, and collaborative skills during the creative process. These courses offer rich text to support art history instruction, including information on artists and art movements over time. The visual art suite integrates standards from all core subject areas, including math, social studies, science, health, and language arts. Connections are also made to music, dance, and physical education. This suite will develop students’ fine motor skills, critical thinking skills, creativity, and appreciation for global communities.
