Summary:
|
The District's Educational Services Department has recommended updates in our district-wide course catalog. When a course is discovered to be outdated or lacks sufficient information, a request is sent to the teacher(s) to update the course. At this time, we are submitting a revised Visual Communications course.
Visual Communications will offer students an interdisciplinary approach to multimedia communications. This comprehensive program emphasizes the fundamentals of the elements of art and design. This course integrates research and writing techniques with artistic creation and expression. Students will develop an awareness of historical trends in design and subject matter from diverse times, places, and cultures. Students achieve an understanding and appreciation of technology used as a tool in artistic expression as they strengthen their visual communication skills and knowledge of graphic design elements. A portfolio will be generated that can be used to demonstrate their abilities for college entrance and/or employment in the visual arts field. This course meets the UC/CSU Requirement of "F" and will be offered to grades ten through twelve.
The above courses have been approved by the Director of Curriculum and Instruction and the Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services. |
