Art Appreciation / Artist of the Month
- Students explore works of art on the basis of themes (e.g., love, poverty,
war).
- Students look for connections in underlying meaning and the psychology
of a piece (vs. just in the physical aspects),
- Students are responsible for some of their own research into artists
and movements.
Technical Skills / Making Art
- There is now a lot of choice involved in terms of materials.
- Students are very aware of how to develop a project in a reflective
manner.
- Students are extremely interested in skill and craft.
Understanding of Concepts / Art Vocabulary
- Students think more deeply about their own art vocabulary that they
have developed over the years at SFDS.
- Students study the idea behind political works of art, satirical work,
commercial versus fine art.
Critique / Critical Thinking
- Students talk about the "grayer" areas such as craft versus
fine art and illustration versus painting.
- Students begin to work in artist/critic teams to develop their communication
skills and strengthen their problem-solving skills.
Work Space
- Students are responsible for bringing in some of their own materials.
