UNIT 5 Exploring Art Media
In this unit, students will demonstrate knowledge of artistic skills in the use of various visual arts media and the technical processes as well as identify visual structures of art, using language appropriate to the visual arts. Students will acknowledge that expression in the visual arts includes the creation and performance of original works of art and involves the interpretation of thoughts, perceptions, and ideas in creating artworks. Students must actively work in these expressive modes to understand and appreciate the visual arts. Students develop visual arts skills and increase their visual arts literacy by using a variety of media and technical processes. Creative expression in the visual arts helps students know themselves better and appreciate their own and others’ creativity.
