Follow up to yesterday's department meeting:  Courses to offer in Visual Art next year?

Emailed Gossett/Clemens:

Good morning!

After having some time to think about courses to offer in Visual Art next year, Hope and I have some more specific input & ideas!

Would it be possible for the photography course to be a hybrid photography/graphic design course and to meet in a computer lab daily, as our classroom?  I think that would be a more practical application and setting for a digital photography class!  If so, 

Hope is open to teaching specialty courses, either ceramics or printmaking, or even both if the schedule allows it!  She would also still like to add an Art 4 only course to her course load (seniors only).

Please let us know your thoughts!

Thank you for your time,

Kristina & Hope

Order for 2019/2020!  (reminder-work on over spring break, once we have a better idea of course offerings for next year)

Emailed Jennie Currin-Calendar request...April 17th-ART SHOW!

-Discussion of Frayer Model-

Benefits to posting frayer model worksheets---reteaching, students can reference missed information if they were absent/need a refresher on important techniques/vocabulary.  Using it as an instructional tool is effective!  Helps to keep students engaged with essential information.

(Feedback from Ms. Winter!)

Discussion with Goal Clarity Coaches-Problems & Solutions! 

Hope-seeking help gathering supplies for Cornhole boards for Auction (collaboration with Industrial Maintenance teachers).  Some problem solving took place!  (distribute work among students!)

PBL document

11/5 (PBL BRAINSTORMING!)

Project Brainstorming: Getting Started

Part A: Select Student Learning Goals for Your Project

Your project should be focused on teaching students key knowledge and understanding derived from standards.

Content Areas & General Topics

Standards & Other Goals

Visual Art-Introduction to Cardboard/Sculpture/Architecture/Working in Three Dimensions

VA:Cr1.1.Ia I can use multiple approaches to planning a sculpture. VA:Cr1.2.Ia I can create a sculpture that reflects the present and allows me to develop a personal vision VA:Cr2.1.Ia I can be flexible and spontaneous in creating a sculpture. VA:Cr2.2.Ia I can explain how traditional and non-traditional materials can be used in sculpture may impact human health and the environment. VA:Cr2.2.Ia I can demonstrate the safe use of materials, tools, and equipment used for sculpting. VA:Cr2.3.Ia I can collaboratively develop a proposal for a sculpture that transforms the perception and experience of a particular place. VA:Cr3.1.Ia I can give and receive criticism based on criteria to improve my sculpture and the sculptures of others.

Part B: Develop a Project Idea

Your project should have a real-world context connected to your students’ pathway.  It should be connected to students’ own concerns, interests and/or identities.

Project Idea:

Intro to Sculpture/Architecture/Cardboard...Students will work together to design & build an architectural model for a structure of their choice.

 Part C: Decide on Major Products

Your project should allow students to make some choices about the products they create, how they work and/or how they use their time.

 Part D: Determine Your Driving Questions

Your project should be based on a meaningful problem to solve or a question to answer, at the appropriate level of challenge for students.  The question should be open-ended & engaging.

Driving Question:	•How could sculptural skills benefit you in another discipline or career? How to work together to complete a project?
Draft
Refined

Part E: Questions To Consider

How do you differentiate for students academically and behaviorally?

How do you ensure that students are giving and receiving feedback?

What opportunities are you giving for student reflection?

Can your project be connected to at least one of the five Backpack Success Skills?

Part F: Project Idea Summary

Summarize your project ideas here...

Project Name:	Cardboard Architecture Sample (work in progress..)
Project Summary:	Students work together to design and build a structure using cardboard.
General Content:	Introduction to working in three dimensions,architecture, introduction to cardboard & techniques working with cardboard.  (Papier mache/paint to finish?)
