The goal of this yearlong high school art class is to develop our perception of space by exploring how sculpture interacts with the surrounding environment. The process of creating sculpture is often similar to solving a puzzle. Students will have to use critical thinking strategies to figure out how to bring their ideas to life! We will be learning how to manipulate a variety of tactile materials, including: wire, plaster, paper, wood, clay, “found objects”, adhesives, and more! While we will focus on building, sculpting, and playing with space—some drawing will still be a part of the process. This course also integrates art criticism, art history, aesthetics, and develops an art vocabulary. Detailed, step-by-step skill building activities will give students an understanding of the elements and principles of art that deal with sculpture.
Aside from focusing on Minnesota Arts Standards, the Art Department at Lionsgate Academy has three main goals:
- Develop Creative Problem Solvers: Through out this course we will study the creative method and use it as a problem-solving tool to guide us through the challenges we face as developing artists.
- Exploring the Emotive Quality of Art: Aiming to develop students’ creative self, art can serve each student’s unique needs in social skill development. This equips them with life skills in organization, visual literacy, accountability, time management, and self-reflection that will follow them as they transition into the community.
- Building Independence in Artistic Processes: This involves creating a balance between encouraging students’ high interest areas while learning new art techniques and skills. This class is a safe place for students to express their unique ideas and sense of humor!
