Course Description

Quality Art Instruction: A Description

From Indiana’s Academic Standards for Visual Arts

Quality art education offers a balance between creating art and responding to art. The components of a quality art education feature these content areas and activities:

History: Students engage in research and inquiry into the historical, social and cultural contexts of art. Through inquiry into art history, students investigate works of art to determine their origins, histories, and meaning, thus acquiring a sense of world civilizations.

Criticism: Students understand and engage in critical inquiry in order to determine meaning in their work and the works of others. Through critical inquiry students increase their understanding and appreciation of art and its role in society. They develop the visual sensitivity and critical judgment needed to participate in a visually dominant society and to objectively evaluate persuasive visual images.

Aesthetics: Students raise and discuss questions concerning the nature, meaning, and value of art. Through aesthetic inquiry students practice the intrapersonal skills of reflection, reasoning, and logic.

Production: Students respond to observations, feelings, ideas, and other experiences by creating works of art through skillful, thoughtful, and imaginative application of media, tools, techniques, and processes. Through studio activities students discover, experiment, and use problem solving skills to express their values and feelings.

Careers & Community: Students identify methods for connecting artistic concepts, processes and skills to careers in art. Students learn to recognize the role of art in society and begin to identify their responsibility for supporting the artistic heritage of their community.

Integrated Studies: Students make connections between art and other disciplines. They create integrated works utilizing the symbol systems (or sign systems) of different disciplines, and thereby enhance communication. By studying a theme through multiple disciplines, students realize the impact of art upon other disciplines and how the sign systems of various disciplines provide a unique understanding of the world.

Elementary Art

Grades: K-6

Course Description:

Visual Arts at the elementary level is a part of the total educational experience of every child in Elkhart Community Schools. The students participate in a variety of mediums including drawing, painting, and ceramics. As students progress, they are taught art fundamentals and skills that enable them to show proficiency in the four disciplines of visual art – history, aesthetics, production, and criticism. The elementary visual arts specialists provide a core of artistic skills and concepts and assist the classroom teacher in using visual arts as an integrated activity in other disciplines by providing them with guidance and appropriate supplementary materials. The curriculum is structured to provide students with an enjoyable experience so visual arts will always have a pleasant connotation to the learner.

Course Objectives:

Elementary Visual Arts students will:

1. Demonstrate knowledge of the elements and principles of visual art.

2. Develop an appreciation of aesthetics in visual arts.

3. Utilize critical thinking skills to judge works of art.

4. Relate the historical aspects of visual arts in a myriad of facets.
