8th Grade 2-D Art & Design technologyThis semester course is based on visual problem solving in a 2-dimensional format. Each assignment presents a new problem for the art student. The first part of the semester will emphasize drawing in different styles: observational/realism, perspective, cartoon, etc. Drawing techniques will be explored along with a variety of drawing materials. Once students have improved their drawing skills, they will then focus on the use of color and expression with watercolor and acrylic paints. The students will also explore digital photography and photo editing applications to enhance the photos. Design apps will also be used to make digital art with the i-pads. In addition to meeting assignment criteria, students will write personal artist’s statements and complete reflections about their artwork. COURSE OUTLINE:
