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 When a course is discovered to be outdated or lacks sufficient information, a request is sent to the teacher(s) to update the course.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 the revised art course, Visual Communications.
Visual Communications offers an interdisciplinary approach to multimedia communications. 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 will be instructed on how to 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 used 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 9-12. Visual Communications meets the A-G Requirement of "F."
The Director of Curriculum and Instruction and the Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services have approved the above course.
