Back to Catalog Print Course Details

Description

In Art Grade One, students will learn about the Elements of Art, art techniques, and master artists. As they learn about master artists, such as Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse, and Maria Merian, they will have the opportunity to experiment with similar art techniques. Exploring with art techniques like painting, printmaking, and mixing medias is a fundamental aspect of the course and connects the students to the Elements of Art and the master artists they are learning about.

Besides engaging students in challenging curriculum, the course guides students to reflect on their learning and evaluate their progress through a variety of assessments. Assessments can be in the form of practice lessons, multiple choice questions, writing assignments, projects, oral assessments, and discussions. Core courses will use the state-approved grading scale and Special Area courses will use an S or U grading scale. 

To achieve success, students are expected to submit work in each course weekly. Students can learn at their own pace; however, “any pace” still means that students must make progress in the course every week. To measure learning, students complete self-checks, practice lessons, multiple choice questions, projects, discussion-based assessments, and discussions. Students are expected to maintain regular contact with teachers; the minimum requirement is monthly. When teachers, students, and parents work together, students are successful.
