LOES’ Art Room is the home of the purple dragon.
Dear Visitor:
At the primary level (K-3), students will experience a visual arts program/curriculum as outlined by the “Kentucky Academic Standards for Visual Arts” and the “National Visual Arts Standards” for grades K-3. Students will learn the visual arts terminology pertaining to the “Elements of Art” and “Principles of Design”; use various art media; and an array of art processes - both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional.
My goal as a Visual Arts Teacher is to create a curriculum structured around both the Kentucky Academic Standards and National Art Standards for Visual Art in a manner that allows students to learn, explore, create, and strengthen their understanding and appreciation for the visual arts.
My elementary curriculum is divided into four parts to be taught over the course of four 9-week intervals. The first nine weeks period is either an introduction to or review of the “Elements of Art” depending on what grade the students are in. The “Elements of Art” are line, shape, color, form, and texture. This is the basic vocabulary/terminology used to discuss and respond to art.
During the second and third 9-weeks period, students will use the “Elements of Design” to illustrate the “Principles of Design”. The “Principles of Design” are pattern, contrast, balance, and emphasis. They are illustrated by the way an artist arranges the “Elements of Art”. For example, if I repeat a line, shape, or color in a work of art I have created a pattern. Toward the end of the second 9-week period, and most of the third 9-week period, students will explore various art media (materials), subject matter (landscapes, portraits, & still-lifes), and artwork from other cultures including Native American, early American time period, traditional Appalachian, and West African. In January we start process of creating a variety of artwork for a large Art Show. Students' artwork will be sent to Artome who will professionally frame the students' work and will come to our school and set up the Art Show (usually in late April).
In the fourth 9-weeks all schools are focused on end of the year assessments. In Visual Art, students will be engaged in activities that will summarize content knowledge covered throughout the school year and prepare them for the next grade level.
This is an overall summary of my curriculum. During the school year, art activities are subject to change due to events in an individual class, school, or community, as well as field trips, assemblies, bad weather, and unforeseen circumstances. I will do my best to update this website and display student artwork and special projects.
I hope you enjoy this website.
