The Art Department Curriculum |
| This is the first through fifth grade segment of the sequential instruction for the elementary art program. The elementary art curriculum will focus on eight major goals. The program will instill in students an enjoyment of the creative process by encouraging individual expression in two and three- dimensional creative visual art activities. The program will develop an appreciation of art through the study of various artists at specified grade levels. The program will enable students to critically analyze works of art through the study of art elements, organizational principles, expressive qualities, and subject matter. The program will develop an appreciation for art of various cultures and recognize art as a form of cultural expression. The program will develop perceptual ability through the study of the components of art (elements, principles, expressive qualities, and subject matter) and utilize this in art production. The program will teach the language of art through the study and application of terms as assessed in the Public Progress Indicators and the N.J. Standards and Indicators for the Visual and Performing Arts. The program will develop an understanding of the relationship between the use of tools, techniques, materials, and the visual statement, including awareness, application, production, health, and safety. The program will develop an enjoyment and appreciation of one's own art work and the art work of others through participation in annual art exhibits. |
