Summary:
|
|
The District's Educational Services Department has proposed revisions to our district-wide course catalog. Collaboration ensues when an instructor or department identifies a necessity for a new course deemed beneficial to students. Subsequently, in conjunction with site personnel, the Educational Services department determines the course's merit for inclusion, fostering a collective effort in course development. At this time, we are submitting the new art course, Visual Communications 2.
Visual Communications 2 is an advanced course offering an interdisciplinary multimedia communications approach. The curriculum will advance what students learned in Visual Communications 1 by adding the client/designer relationship to every project. Students will work with real clients to fully engage in the artistic process and navigate real-world experiences in a facilitated environment. This comprehensive program emphasizes the fundamentals of the elements of art and design. This class 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. They will learn to articulate their artistic expression via technological applications such as Adobe Creative Cloud Software. Students must complete numerous graphic design compositions and projects by production deadlines. Students will process, respond to, and judge compositions, projects, and layouts using their knowledge of the elements and principles of multimedia design. A portfolio will be generated that can be utilized to demonstrate their abilities for college entrance and/or employment in the visual arts field.
This course has no pre or co-requisites and is intended for grade levels 10-12. Visual Communications 2 meets the A-G Requirement of "F."
The Director of Curriculum and Instruction and the Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services has approved the above course. |
