VISUAL ART MISSION STATEMENT

The Prince William County visual art instructors will educate students to become visually competent and to develop awareness and appreciation of art as a universal means of communication. Through their study of visual art, students will develop fluency in visual, oral, and written communication using the language of art. While developing aesthetic and critical thinking skills, students will become risk takers, creative problem solvers, and proficient producers of effective, original art work that reflects their visual culture. Students are expected to embrace art as a visual language to express and communicate their ideas and feelings, while utilizing safe and ethical practices in the creative process.

FORWARD

The Prince William County Visual Art Curriculum is organized by strands and levels of instruction: Elementary grades K through 5, Middle grades 6 through 8, Art I through Art V, Computer Art I, Graphic Design, Computer Graphics, Multimedia, Photography, and Art History. Virginia Standards of Learning are embedded within the Prince William County Visual Art Curriculum. Virginia Standards of Learning are numbered in BOLD font. Prince William County Objectives are numbered in plain font where they exceed the Virginia Standards of Learning. Combined, they comprise the Prince William County Visual Art Objectives. The Visual Arts Standards of Learning identify the essential content and skills required in the visual arts curriculum for each level and are designed to be cumulative, progressing in complexity by grade level from kindergarten through the sequence of high school courses. Throughout visual arts education, course content is organized into four specific content strands: Visual Communication and Production, Cultural Context and Art History, Judgment and Criticism, and Aesthetics. It is through the acquisition of the concepts, content, and skills that the goals for visual arts education can be realized. A comprehensive visual arts education program provides students with multiple means of expression as and analytical skills to evaluate information that is conveyed by images and symbols. The standards are not intended to encompass the entire curriculum for a given grade level or course nor to prescribe how the content should be taught. Teachers are encouraged to go beyond these standards and select instructional strategies and assessment methods appropriate for their students. Teachers will consistently model appropriate use of copyrighted and royalty-protected materials.

STRANDS – Related aspects of visual art instruction. These strands are represented at every level based upon Virginia Standards of Learning for Visual Art K – 12.

• VISUAL COMMUNICATION AND PRODUCTION – Students will develop and communicate ideas by creating works of art. They will develop fluency in visual, oral, and written communication, using art vocabulary and concepts. Through art production, students will express ideas and feelings in two-dimensional and three-dimensional art forms and gain respect for their own work and the work of others. Students will also demonstrate safe and ethical practices in the use of art materials, tools, techniques, and processes.

• CULTURAL CONTEXT AND ART HISTORY – Students will develop understanding of the visual arts in relation to history and cultures by

investigating works of art from different times and places. Through the study of works of art, the people who produced them and careers in the visual arts, students will learn to understand the role the visual arts play in communicating historical and cultural beliefs and ideas.

• JUDGMENT AND CRITICISM – Students will examine works of art and make informed judgments about them based on established visual arts

criteria. Through the understanding of visual arts principles and processes, they will be able to use a variety of strategies to analyze the visual qualities and interpret the meanings of works of art. They will also employ critical evaluation skills in the production of their works of art.

• AESTHETICS – Students will reflect on and analyze their personal responses to the expressive and communicative qualities of works of art. They

will understand that their background, knowledge, and experiences influence their perceptions of works of art. Through the examination of issues related to the visual arts, students will draw conclusions and reflect on the nature, meaning, and value of art, based on their dual roles as both creator and viewer of art. They will learn to recognize the difference between personal opinion (aesthetic critique) and informed judgment (informal critique) when reflecting on, discussing, and responding to visual imagery.

BENCHMARKS – Specific targeted goals for students to achieve by the completion of designated levels. OBJECTIVES – Sequential pedagogical skills and areas of knowledge that will be addressed at each level of instruction. SAFETY

Safety must be given the highest priority in implementing the K-12 instructional program for visual arts. Correct and safe techniques, as well as wise selection of resources, materials, and equipment appropriate to the students’ age levels, must be carefully considered with regard to the safety precautions needed for every instructional activity. Safe visual arts classrooms require thorough planning, careful management, and constant monitoring of student activities. Class enrollments should not exceed the designated capacity of the room.

CREATE / EXPLORE - To produce works of visual art using materials, techniques, processes, elements, and analysis; the flexible and fluent generation of unique, complex, or elaborate ideas. DIRECT OBSERVATION – Looking at an object in person for the purpose of creating a art. ELEMENTS OF ART – Basic things with which an artist crates a design; the elements are line, color, value, shape, form, space, and texture.

• Line – A thin mark that is used to define a space, contours, and outlines or suggest mass and volume. It may be a continuous mark on a surface with a pointed tool or implied by the edges of shapes and forms.

• Color – An art element with three properties: hue, value, and intensity. Also, the character of surfaces created by the response of vision to wavelengths of reflected light.

• Value – An element of art concerned with the degree of lightness of colors. Darker colors are lower in value. • Shape – An enclosed space defined by other art elements such as line, color, and texture. • Form – An element of art that appears three-dimensional and encloses volume such as a cube, sphere, pyramid, or cylinder. • Space – An element of art that indicate areas between, around, above, below, or within something.

FANTASY/IMAGINATION – Images created or conceived in the mind, maybe from dreams or illusions. ORIGINAL ART – Art that is not copied from another work of art. Art that encourages students to think independently. PORTFOLIO – A collection of art pieces over time that demonstrates an artist’s unique style and growth as an artist. It may include text as well as images. PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN – Guideline by which the artist puts the elements of art together in their work. The principles are: rhythm, balance, movement, unity (harmony), emphasis (dominance), contrast 9 variety0, and pattern.

• Balance - A principle of design referring to the arrangement of visual elements to create stability in an artwork. There are four balance arrangements in art: asymmetrical (informal), symmetrical (formal), approximately symmetrical, and radial.

• Movement – A principle of design associated with rhythm, referring to the arrangement of parts in an artwork to create a sense of motion to the viewer’s eye through the work.

• Unity (Harmony) – A principle of design related to the sense of wholeness that results from the successful combination of the component elements of an artwork.

• Emphasis (Dominance) – A principle of design in which one element, or a combination of elements, create more attention than anything else in a composition. The dominant element is usually a focal point in a composition and contributes to unity by suggesting that other elements are subordinate to it.

• Rhythm – A principle of design that refers to ways of combining elements to produce the appearance of movement in an artwork. It may be achieved through repetition, alteration, or progression of an element.

• Contrast (Variety) – A principle of design that refers to differences between elements such as color, texture, value, and shape. A painting might have bright colors, contrasted with dull or angular shapes, contrasted with round ones.

• Pattern – The repetition of elements or combinations of elements (motif) in a recognizable organization.

ART CURRICULUM Middle School Literacy Concepts

LITERACY CONCEPTS: VISUAL ARTS – MIDDLE VISUAL COMMUNICATION AND PRODUCTION:

1. Art – Produced or intended primarily for aesthetic purposes rather than utility. Any of the art forms, such as sculpture, painting, or music. 2. Art Processes – Skills, techniques, tools, equipment used in the act of creating art such as the addition and subtraction in sculpture, the coiling,

slab, pinch methods in ceramic modeling with fettling knives and modeling tools. 3. Art Media/Materials – Materials with which a work of art is made such as watercolor, clay, pen and ink. Groupings of works of visual art according

to the materials used in their production. 4. Composition – The picture plane or area in which a work of art is designed. 5. Color Theory – All of the properties of color to include hue and the color wheel; value with all tints and shades; and color intensity. 6. Create – To produce works of visual art using materials, techniques, processes, elements, and analysis; the flexible and fluent generation of

unique, complex, or elaborate ideas. 7. Creative Process – To make or bring about a work of art by brainstorming, researching, reviewing concepts, practicing skills with new media,

production, reflection, critiquing, and evaluating. 8. Conceptual – Visual idea that takes form through creative processes, conscious or subconscious. Conceptual Art emphasizes the idea behind the

work of art rather than the work itself. 9. Direct Observation – Looking at an object in person for the purpose of creating art. 10. Elements of Art – Basic things with which an artist creates a design; they are line, color, value, shape, form, space, and texture.

• Line – A thin mark that is used to define a space, contours, and outlines or suggest mass and volume. It may be a continuous mark on a surface with a pointed tool or implied by the edges of shapes and forms.

• Color – An art element with three properties: hue, value, and intensity. Also, the character of surfaces created by the response of vision to wavelengths of reflected light.

• Value – An element of art concerned with the degree of lightness of colors. Darker colors are lower in value. • Shape – An enclosed space defined by other art elements such as line, color, and texture. • Form – An element of art that appears three-dimensional and encloses volume such as a cube, sphere, pyramid, or cylinder. • Space – An element of art that indicate areas between, around, above, below, or within something. • Texture – The surface quality of an artwork usually perceived through the sense of touch [actual or tactile]. However, texture can also be

visual or implied perceived visually though not felt through touch.

11. Fantasy – Creating images that are imaginary as in daydreams or illusions. 12. Ideation – The process of forming ideas and relating ideas together. 13. Imagination – The ability to formulate images in one’s own mind. 14. Journal [Visual journal/sketchbook] – Collection of pages for the specific purpose of sketching, drawing, brainstorming, and recording ideas. 15. Original Art Objects – Art that is not copied from another work of art. Art that encourages students to think independently. 16. Perception – Act of perceiving, understanding and discerning. 17. Portfolio – A collection of art pieces to include drawings, prints, paintings, slides.

ART CURRICULUM Middle School Literacy Concepts

VISUAL COMMUNICATION AND PRODUCTION:

18. Principles of Design – Guidelines by which the artist puts the elements of art together; they are balance, movement, unity (harmony), emphasis (dominance), rhythm, contrast, and pattern. • Balance - A principle of design referring to the arrangement of visual elements to create stability in an artwork. There are four balance

arrangements in art: asymmetrical (informal), symmetrical (formal), approximately symmetrical, and radial. • Movement – A principle of design associated with rhythm, referring to the arrangement of parts in an artwork to create a sense of motion to the

viewer’s eye through the work. • Unity (Harmony) – A principle of design related to the sense of wholeness that results from the successful combination of similiar elements of

an artwork. • Emphasis (Dominance) – A principle of design in which one element, or a combination of elements, create more attention than anything else

in a composition. The dominant element is usually a focal point in a composition and contributes to unity by suggesting that other elements are subordinate to it.

• Rhythm – A principle of design that refers to ways of combining elements to produce the appearance of movement in an artwork. It may be achieved through repetition, alteration, or progression of an element.

• Contrast (Variety) – A principle of design that refers to differences between elements such as color, texture, value, and shape. A painting might have bright colors, contrasted with dull or angular shapes, contrasted with round ones.

• Pattern – The repetition of elements or combinations of elements (motif) in a recognizable organization.

19. Research – Intellectual investigation aimed at interpreting, discovering, and revising different aspects of the world. 20. Sketchbook – Collection of pages for the specific purpose of sketching, brainstorming, drawing and recording ideas, provides evidence of

originality. 21. Three-Dimensional – Art work that has length, width, and depth as in sculpture and ceramics. 22. Two-Dimensional – Art work that is flat, that has length and width only as in drawings, paintings, and prints. 23. Visual Communication – A means of sending messages through visual images. 24. Visual Intelligence – Ability to represent and comprehend the visual/spatial world in one’s own mind. 25. Visual Memory – Creating images from recall.

CULTURAL CONTEXT AND ART HISTORY:

26. Art Styles/Classification – Various ways in which an artist does their work; realistic, abstract, non-objective. 27. Artistic Periods/Movements – The identifying characteristics of the artwork of a group of artists or an entire society over a specific period of time.

(Impressionism, Op/Pop Art, Minority Culture) 28. Concept – Visual idea that takes form through creative processes. 29. Genre – Art created from scenes of everyday life as the subject matter. 30. Intent – The planned purpose. 31. Multicultural Themes – Creating art that represents images, symbols, colors, and traditions from many different societies. 32. Social Context – Reflecting the background and surroundings of a particular group living together. 33. Subject Matter – The theme of a work of art such as landscape, portrait, and still-life.

ART CURRICULUM High School Literacy Concepts

LITERACY CONCEPTS: VISUAL ARTS – ART I AND ART II VISUAL COMMUNICATION AND PRODUCTION:

1. Art – Produced or intended primarily for aesthetic purposes rather than utility. Any of the art forms, such as sculpture, painting, or music. 2. Art Processes – Skills, techniques, tools, equipment used in the act of creating art such as the addition and subtraction in sculpture, the coiling,

slab, pinch methods in ceramic modeling with fettling knives and modeling tools. 3. Art Media/Materials – Materials with which a work of art is made such as watercolor, clay, pen and ink. Groupings of works of visual art according

to the materials used in their production. 4. Composition – The picture plane or area in which a work of art is designed. 5. Color Theory – All of the properties of color to include hue and the color wheel; value with all tints and shades; and color intensity. 6. Create – To produce works of visual art using materials techniques processes, elements, and analysis; the flexible and fluent generation of

unique, complex, or elaborate ideas. 7. Creative Process – To make or bring about a work of art by brainstorming, researching, reviewing concepts, practicing skills with new media,

production, reflection, critiquing, and evaluating. 8. Conceptual – Visual idea that takes form through creative processes, conscious or subconscious. Conceptual Art emphasizes the idea behind the

work of art rather than the work itself. 9. Direct Observation – Looking at an object in person for the purpose of creating art. 10. Elements of Art – Basic things with which an artist creates a design; they are line, color, value, shape, form, space, and texture.

• Line – A thin mark that is used to define a space, contours, and outlines or suggest mass and volume. It may be a continuous mark on a surface with a pointed tool or implied by the edges of shapes and forms.

• Color – An art element with three properties: hue, value, and intensity. Also, the character of surfaces created by the response of vision to wavelengths of reflected light.

• Value – An element of art concerned with the degree of lightness of colors. Darker colors are lower in value. • Shape – An enclosed space defined by other art elements such as line, color, and texture. • Form – An element of art that appears three-dimensional and encloses volume such as a cube, sphere, pyramid, or cylinder. • Space – An element of art that indicate areas between, around, above, below, or within something. • Texture – The surface quality of an artwork usually perceived through the sense of touch [actual or tactile]. However, texture can also be

visual or implied, perceived visually though not felt through touch.

11. Fantasy – Creating images that are imaginary as in daydreams or illusions. 12. Ideation – The process of forming ideas and relating ideas together. 13. Imagination – The ability to formulate images in one’s own mind. 14. Journal [Visual journal/sketchbook] – Collection of pages for the specific purpose of sketching, drawing, brainstorming, and recording ideas. 15. Original Art Objects – Art that is not copied from another work of art. Art that encourages students to think independently. 16. Perception – Act of perceiving, understanding and discerning. 17. Portfolio – A collection of art pieces to include drawings, prints, paintings, slides. 18. Principles of Design – Guidelines by which the artist puts the elements of art together; they are balance, movement, unity (harmony), emphasis

(dominance), rhythm, contrast, and pattern. • Balance - A principle of design referring to the arrangement of visual elements to create stability in an artwork. There are four balance
