ABSTRACT
This course is a joint venture between the Art and Business Departments. The school year will be divided with students learning the art components and applications of the Adobe Creative Suite, specifically Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign, as an artistic medium for one semester. During the Business semester students will use Photoshop and Fireworks from that same software suite in addition to Microsoft Word, Microsoft Web Page Editor, Microsoft PowerPoint, Windows Sound Recorder, Windows Movie Maker, SONY Sound Forge.
The course will align lessons with the New York State Standards in the Arts as well as the New York State Standards in Math, Science & Technology and Career Development Occupational Studies. It will provide students the opportunity to apply the concepts from these software vehicles to real-world applications both in the academic environment as well as commercial/business settings.
RATIONALE
The Art Semester
The Adobe Creative Suite is one of the most commonly used bundles of software used in the art and business world. This course will give students an introduction to several of the programs in this suite; allowing students the opportunity to become proficient in software that is used extensively in real-world settings. Students will learn to recognize various applications of the programs individually as well as how to integrate the programs in their projects. Projects will concentrate on Adobe Photoshop, the premiere photo imaging software and Adobe InDesign, a prominent desktop publishing software used in industry today.
Projects will be comparable to assignments students might encounter in the professional working environment as well as being applicable to academic assignments.
The Business Semester
Microsoft Word and Microsoft Windows is often the universal software combination available to students in the classroom as well as in the business office. This semester students will learn to use the less commonly known features within these programs such as the Word Drawing Toolbar, Windows Movie Maker, Word Web Page Editor, Desktop Publishing Elements, Windows Sound Recorder as well as the more commonly used presentations package Microsoft PowerPoint. Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Fireworks will be covered relative to photo manipulation and animation. SONY Sound forge will be touched upon relative to advanced sound editing. It is important to keep in mind that these software packages are merely vehicles and the education learned through their use is readily transferable to other software and operating systems.
Projects will be comparable to assignments students might encounter throughout their academic careers.

APPENDIX
Elements of Art
Line The path of a moving point through space. Lines can vary in appearance by length, width, texture, direction and degree of curve. They are considered one-dimensional and are measured by length. A line is also used by an artist to control the viewer’s eye movement. There are five types of line. They are vertical, horizontal, diagonal, curved and zigzag.
Form or Shape Shapes are two-dimensional areas that are defined in some way. Shapes only have height and width. Form refers to three-dimensional objects. A form ahs height, width and depth. Forms can be geometric or free form.
Texture The element of art that refers to how things feel, or look as if they might feel if touched. Texture is perceived by touch and sight. Objects can have rough or smooth textures and matte or shiny surfaces.
Color An element of art that is derived from reflective light. The sensation of color is aroused in the brain by response of the eyes to different wavelengths of light. Color has three properties: hue, value and intensity.
Value The differences in a hue ranging from the lightest to the darkest. Value depends on how much light a surface reflects. Value is also one of the three properties of color.
Space An element of art that refers to the emptiness or area between around, above, below, or within objects. Shapes and forms are defined by space around and within them. Space organizes elements in a composition.
Negative space is the empty spaces surrounding shapes and forms.
Positive space is the shapes or forms in two and three dimensional art.
Principles of Design
Repetition Repetition is the use of line, color, or a motif, in more than one place in a composition.
Pattern is created through a repetitious use of the same element to create an overall design.
Rhythm is the repeated use of similar elements such as color, line, or shape – the smooth transition from one part to another.
Balance Balance is the equilibrium of various elements in the work of art.
Symmetrical or Formal Balance is equal balance on each side of an imaginary middle line.
Asymmetrical or Informal Balance is achieved through unequal distribution on each side of an imaginary middle line.
Radial Balance occurs when the forces or elements of a design come out from a central point.
Emphasis Emphasis is given to a center-of-interest, which might be the largest, brightest, or lightest subject.
Contrast Contrast shows differences between the elements of art, which are: line, color, shape, value, space and texture.
Unity Unity is the harmony of all the visual elements in a composition.
Proportion is the pleasing relationship of all parts to each other and the whole of the design.
Variety consists of differences in scale, surface, line, value, and shape that give interest to a composition.

|Untitled | |
|My Mandala is entitled the "The Sacred Star" I have always been attracted to anything colorful, intricate and symmetrical... hence my natural | |
|attraction to Mandalas. | |
| | |
|Being creative is my meditation and working with fabric is my first choice for a creative medium. The Sacred Star is the first creative project | |
|that is completely my own. | |
| | |
|The points of the star appear to expand and reach outwards... they expand just as my creativity has through the making of this project and they | |
|reach outwards just as I hope my Mandala does to touch other peoples lives by bringing them a moment of peace and pleasure... | |

|Untitled | |
|I see the mandala as a powerful metaphor and vehicle for cosmic insight. I have also recently been struck by the notion that for art to be "good",| |
|it must combine beauty with truth. | |
| | |
|The mandala form seems to offer an unlimited opportunity for integrating depth of meaning with surprising visual beauty. | |
