CURRICULUM
Aw¢ {¢¦5Lh
Art Program Understandings
Students will understand that:
• Artists communicate effectively and expressively by selecting and applying appropriate art elements and principles.
• Artists develop the ability to think critically and solve problems creatively as part of the process of taking an artistic project from concept to completion.
• Artists study art to make informed critical judgments, gain knowledge about visual communication, and learn to respect the ideas and expression of themselves and others.
• Artists create connections between different subject areas both within and outside the arts such as dance, theater, music, math, science and social studies.
• Art expresses the core values of a culture and artists influence and are influenced by the cultures and time periods in which they live.
IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES AND EXPECTATIONS
This document is externally aligned with the Missouri Show-Me Standards and Grade Level Expectations for Visual Arts. Content standards, process standards, and GLEs are coded for each course and grade level. There is internal alignment between the standards, facilitating activities, and assessments. Teachers develop, implement, and assess the curriculum by following the Rockwood Data-Driven Teaching and Learning Model. The Visual Arts curriculum presents broad, recurring standards along with the specific, essential content and process skills taught at each grade or course level. Teachers pre-assess to determine students’ prior knowledge, and then differentiate instruction to provide appropriate challenge for each student. The essential content and skills are presented in student-friendly language as daily Learning Targets. Essential Understandings place student learning in the context of life beyond schooling. Facilitating Activities and Differentiation Suggestions offer teachers various models for teaching the knowledge and skills. Teachers are expected to give students specific formative feedback during the learning process. Students and teachers use Scoring Guides to describe and improve student achievement. This is a living, changing, document that will be reviewed and revised annually. Teacher feedback is essential to this process. Therefore, teachers are encouraged to record observations and comments about the curriculum as well as ideas for additions and deletions. Throughout the course of the year, teachers should document demonstrations of each summative assessment to be used in the refinement of scoring guides and the development of consistent scoring.
Rockwood Mission and Vision

Grade Level/Course: 8th Grade Art Studio
Content Area: Visual Arts
Grade Level/Course Overview: Students will create original, two and three-dimensional art based upon observation, landscape in two-point perspective, still life, the human figure, and contemporary visual culture. They will learn and use drawing, painting, printmaking, and sculpture techniques. Students will be inspired by realistic and abstract art. They will analyze and critique artworks, discuss aesthetic issues, and understand how art is related to history and culture. Strands/Domains Product and Performance Elements and Principals Artistic Perceptions Interdisciplinary Connections Historical and Cultural Context
Interdisciplinary Themes
Program Understandings (pk-12) Artists communicate effectively and expressively by selecting and applying appropriate art elements and principles.
Artists develop the ability to think critically and solve problems creatively as part of the process of taking an artistic project from concept to completion.
Artists study art to make informed critical judgments, gain knowledge about visual communication, and learn to respect the ideas and expression of themselves and others.
Artists create connections between different subject areas both within and outside the arts such as dance, theater, music, math, science and social studies.
Art expresses the core values of a culture and artists influence and are influenced by the cultures and time periods in which they live. Units of Study Drawing from Observation Landscape Printmaking Portrait Sculpture Computer Art
