Origami!

If you miss this class, you should check out these websites and try completing 3-5 simple origami projects. This is what we will be doing in class...plus learning about the history of origami.

Remember, you are in competition with yourself here. Some origami patterns are more difficult and challenging than others, so...if you are new to origami, pick simple/easy challenges first! :)

Put the results in your sketchbook (even those that you consider 'failures.' Remember, you earn your grade from your learning PROCESS, NOT just your PRODUCTS.)

General Objectives of the Class:

  • To develop skilled, intelligent and articulate consumers/creators of visual images;
  • To acquire skills/awareness of artistic preferences, processes, philosophies and production values as they relate to art education;
  • To impart a introductory knowledge of the terminology and history of ideas as evidenced in art;
  • To increase the students’ ability to grow ideas and improve their decision making skills;
  • To impart an enhanced understanding of the interconnectivity of art, society and personal development in each individuals experience with visual images.
  • To explore the arts industry as a potential career direction.

Course Materials:

  • Mark making/manipulating/imaging tools (various pencils/pens/markers/color pencils)
  • Ruler (minimum 12 inch)
  • Erasers
  • Hand held pencil sharpener
  • Post-it Notes
  • Scissors
  • Glue Sticks
  • Notebook/Binder and loose leaf
  • "Sketchbook"
  • Portfolio
  • Image Bank (start collecting visual images of interest)
  • Miscellaneous TBA (i.e. Personal cameras are not required, but if you do have access to one that you like using…use it!)

 

NOTE:

I seriously believe that one can not buy talent and skill. Keep that in mind when you are wanting to buy expensive art materials

as part of the solution to the visual art problems we will be solving in this course. This art course should not cost you a lot of

EXTRA money...if you are resourceful, creative and challenge yourself to think outside traditional art media possibilities.

 

Structure:

The Art 9 class is an approximately 60 class course designed to introduce students to the role of the arts in education, society/ industry, the history of ideas

and personal development. One of the wonderful qualities about Art Education is that it heartily expects students to build upon their current levels of artistic

growth and integrity through the ’snowball’ effect (unlike, for instance, Mathematics/Music…where one must have an understanding of foundational elements

before continued/advanced learning may occur).  For this reason, a great deal of emphasis is placed on art student engagement with artistic processes

and products and NOT competition with each other to see who can make the 'best' art. Students are encouraged to be 'in competition with themselves,'

to raise awareness of where they are currently at in their learning about art, and to set goals for their individual growth and 'creative comfort zone' expansion.

In short, for this class, students are advised that it is those people who do things - and actively pursue interconnectivity - who best succeed in this course…and learn. 

An attitude that accepts risk taking, experimentation, engagement and tenacity in personal growth is not an option for those involved in quality Art Education

learning processes.   Our environment is a safe space for experimentation and product failure where mutual respect between all parties involved is expected. 

Students are encouraged to enter this class with an open mind and a commitment to their own personal growth through art education.

Instruction shall take the form of:

  • portfolio creation, maintenance, organization and review
  • individual and group discussions and questioning
  • quizzes and tests
  • brainstorming
  • skill development
  • creating visual art works
  • viewing and critiquing art works from history (describe/analyse/ interpret/judge)
  • small group/whole group/individual work critiques
  • art notebook/'sketchbook' writing and creating
  • project research
  • and more!

The two central art class rules that this learning structure promotes are:

1. Be kind

2. Work

 

Evaluation:

portfolio

Students are expected to maintain a portfolio (70%) for their individual evaluation in this course. Students are also expected to keep an art journal/notebook

or 'sketchbook' (30%) that supports their learning journey and records their art education experiences, skills and knowledge. tree symmetryPortfolio Review Checklist

sketchbook

Various other evaluation strategies will also be employed throughout the course of the experience - as necessary - as a means to bring about

the highest degree of learning possible for each individual.  For example:  rubrics, group critiques, peer critiques, teacher-student individual

education planning, oral and written quizzes, journal writing and responses, brainstorming assignments, external examinations… every moment

and every assignment counts towards the final grade on the report card. Student assessment is orientated to highlight the foundational objectives of the course.

 

In my evaluation process, emphasis is also placed on the idea that the individual student is in competion with themselves for grades and NOT

other classmates. Personal goal setting and the pursuit of personal excellence will be discussed frequently. Students are be encouraged to take an

active role in their own assessment as self-evaluation, reflection and artistic goal setting are an integral part of the LHS art programs.

 
 

Sample Project Evaluation Rubric

0 A '0' is earned if there is no effort to meet the project requirements
1-59 An 'F' with points is earned if the project shows that the student made some effort, but that the project results do not demonstrate an understanding of the requirements.
60-69 A 'D' is earned if the project addresses the requirements very superficially or completely fails to address some of the requirements while meeting the other requirements.
70-79 A 'C' is earned if the project addresses the requirements, but at a minimal level. The project is solid, but is less sophisticated in content and style.
80-89 A 'B' is earned if the project demonstrates a clear understanding of the requirements and the finished result is a strong but thinner version of an 'A' grade project. It is still impressive and interesting.
90-100 An 'A' is earned by the project that is clearly a superior example of the individual student's problem solving, creative/original thinking and technical skills.

 

Additional Notes:

HOMEWORK IS NOT AN OPTION. Students are expected to put in a half hour of homework for every hour of class time, at minimum.

EACH CLASS IS EXPECTED TO HELP DEVELOP THE UNIT STUDY TIME LINES WITH THE INSTRUCTOR.
