Summary: The District's Educational Services Department has recommended updates in our district-wide course catalog. We are submitting a new Career Technical Education (CTE) course in the RCOE Hospitality, Tourism, and Recreation Sector: RCOE Catering and Event Styling. This course meets the UC/CSU A-G requirement as a "G" elective. RCOE Catering and Event Styling course develop students' passion for Visual Arts as applied to event styling and planning. As students create digital images and videos through the course, they will build their creative voice through food styling techniques, the artistry of food photography, an event styling project, and culminating digital art exposition. Each unit will include a self-reflection/critique essay or presentation used to enhance the developing creative process. Through analysis and critique of paintings, published food photographs, and professionally catered events, students will develop an understanding of the aesthetics about food and event design planning. This course is designed to provide a foundation of visual arts concepts and allow exploration of these concepts through the use of text, online educational platforms, and practicing visual art. Students will learn the standards of artistic perception, creative expression, aesthetic valuing, and the historical and cultural context of the Arts. Students will establish career connections and relationships to expand opportunities to express ideas through visual arts, explore art theory, apply the conventions of art criticism, and develop basic skills through experimentation with media and techniques used to create two-dimensional and three-dimensional works of art. This Catering and Event Styling course provides students with the principles, theories, and elements of 21st-century event styling by connecting academic rigor with practical experiences to expose students to event design. This course was designed for high school students in grades ten and eleven. The above courses have been approved by the Director of Curriculum and Instruction and the Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services.
