In this course middle school aged students will explore art movements (i.e. impressionism, pop art, surrealism, etc.) from around the world and build their creative, analytical, and communication skills as we discuss use of elements and principles, imagery, and themes. Understanding the world and its history through artistic movements is a way for students to connect to the past and present in a more holistic manner.
Students will explore their own ideas related themes and ideas within artistic movements through sketching, refining, giving and receiving feedback, and creating their final piece. They will explore the mediums of drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, and sculpture.
What to expect in each session:
Each unit (about 3 sessions) will explore an art movement. Students will begin by exploring works that fit within the unit’s topic, learning to analyze works visually using the elements of art and principles of design. We will then move onto the production portion of the unit where students will create a piece of artwork inspired by the artistic movement we’re learning about. During production students will practice sketching, giving/receiving feedback, and then completing their final piece.
Goals for this course:
Understanding artistic movements as responses to world events/movement
Cultural empathy
Visual literacy and analysis
Communication
Growth in artistic technique and skill
