804 - Painting Course Description Grades: 9-12 Group: II Units: 0.5 Offered: Fall/Spring Prerequisite: 800 - Foundations of Art This course is designed to teach the student how to manipulate and handle paint. Student projects include creating original designs, learning and applying color theory, value, blending, and a study of different painting styles. Note: This course may be repeated once for credit. Priority will be given to first-time students. Students taking Painting for the second time will continue to master skills in understanding and applying color theory, expand painting techniques and tools, and create a cohesive series of work based on a thesis designed by the student. Instructors then customize a curriculum that combines the interests of the student with additional advanced painting techniques. Essential Questions 1. How are value, color theory, shape, and three-dimensionality created in my artwork? 2. How do I mix colors using different shades of primaries? 3. How did the Masters paint? What can I learn from them? 4. How do I learn from visiting artists? What can I use from their work to apply to my creative process? 5. How did a particular artist create line, light, shadow, and composition? 6. How are oil colors used in the fat or lean method? 7. How do I identify a style and incorporate that style into my painting? 8. How do you use various brushes and other tools to create different effects? 9. How do I learn how make two-dimensional drawings into three-dimensional representations of color? Assessment 1. A rubric is designed for each project that includes the following items: understanding, craftsmanship/skills objectives, values/shading, proportions, overall performance documentation, and meeting or exceeding the project requirements. 2. Students create an essay of at least 30 sentences that explains the process, final product, and reflection of students’ artwork. 3. Students must meet deadlines; tardiness in completion will result in the deduction of percentage points in grade. 4. Students will use the style of class critiques to discuss their creative process at the completion of each project. They are asked to defend their work by answering a series of questions that reflect their strengths and weaknesses. Classmates also initiate a conversation about each artist’s strength and weaknesses, further challenging the student. This process is essential to the young artist to grow in ability, craftsmanship, and connection with the viewer.
