Philosophy

Art is a necessary component of our lives; a vital contributor to our learning, to our well-being and in essence, to our existence. It helps us develop values, understand the past and visually decipher our modern world. It enables us to communicate ideas, to express feelings and to respect the values, attitudes, and beliefs of our culturally diverse world. It encourages us to develop our creative and critical thinking skills and fosters self-esteem through discovery of our own aesthetic. It fosters an appreciation of how things are made and the skill and process that is involved in designing and creating everything in the world around us.

The Art Program of River Edge, Oradell, and River Dell School Districts is based on the philosophy of Discipline Based Art Education. DBAE includes the four disciplines of art; Art Production, Aesthetics, Art History and Art Criticism.

Art Production: Students will create works of art with a diversity of materials and techniques, both two and three-dimensional.

Aesthetics: Students will be engaged in philosophical questions such as what is art and aesthetic questions such as what defines an individual’s, societal and cultural definitions of beauty. Hence the term Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Art History: Students will learn a broad spectrum of Art from different time periods and civilizations around the world and learn how they influence our approach to art and design today.

Art Criticism: Students will be involved in the method of oral and written critique through description, analysis and interpretation of their own work, that of their peers and famous works of art and design.

It is our goal as well to enhance what is being taught in the core classrooms through a cross-curricular approach. Using grade level curriculums, (ex. - math, science, history), as motivational material for some art lessons enhances the students ability to make connections between subject areas. It creates a cohesive understanding of their world. Opportunities for displaying student work in exhibitions and competitions are provided within the school district and the community at large.

The goal of the Art Program is to foster creative problem solving and critical thinking skills. Creative freedom will enable experimentation with a diversity of materials, techniques, concepts and skills. Exposure to a variety of art and design across time and between cultures will enable students with the skills to describe, analyze, interpret and respond to the visual world around them.

Introduction

The River Dell Public Schools Visual Arts curriculum is a comprehensive document to be implemented by state certified teachers in the area of art. This curriculum is written in direct accordance with the New Jersey Core Curriculum Standards for Visual and Performing Arts. The Standard’s grade level progress indicators are included in this document.

Each grade level includes a concept and objective for each Element of Art and Principle of Design as well as Aesthetics/Criticism and Art History. Each objective lists the state standards that are applicable. At the end of each grade level are Suggested Activities and Assessment Strategies. The activities are only suggestions. The teacher has full creative freedom as to what theme, material, or artist/culture to focus on. The lessons can highlight one element such as shapes, or it may combine many of the elements and principals of design. It is the grade level objectives and concepts that need to be followed, the means of actualizing these goals is open to the teacher’s own personal style, interests and approach. In this document the objectives of each concept progress through the grade levels. A concept which may be introduced in first grade may be built upon and mastered by the end of Twelfth grade. The state goals for grades 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 act as bench marks for mastery by the end of those grade levels. The teacher should be aware of these when creating lessons so that a strong foundation is developed and at each grade level the student’s knowledge and application of it is built upon.

Motivation for lessons can be derived from various sources. Art Prints, reproductions and artifacts are available through our existing collections. Other resources are the internet, photographs, books, magazines, and newspapers. Real objects, both natural and manmade, should be used as well. Museum web sites offer great visuals of their permanent collections as well as virtual tours of special exhibits. Keeping the resources age appropriate and relative to the student’s world will capture their interest and spark the enthusiasm necessary for self-expression.

Art Safety

To promote the early learning of good safety habits, teachers should discuss general safety rules and procedures in all art classes, beginning in kindergarten. As they introduce more complicated materials, tools and equipment in later grades, teachers should implement a more comprehensive program of art safety.

River Dell Regional School District Department of Visual Arts Advanced Art Project Proposal Steps: 1. When a student would like to request an Advanced Art Project in Visual Arts, he/she must obtain a copy of the Request for Advanced Art Project Recommendation Sheet and packet from his/her guidance counselor. 2. The student writes a letter to describe the proposal for his/her Advanced Art Project. In this letter, the student should explain the proposed focus of the project, how he/she is capable of satisfactorily completing its requirements, and the culminating project(s) for assessment. 3. To accompany the letter, the student creates a portfolio of artwork. The student must complete the attached Student Portfolio Guideline sheet. 4. The student submits the Request Form, the proposal letter, and the portfolio to his/her current Art Department teacher. The current teacher completes the Analysis of Work Habits Rubric and attaches it to the packet. 5. The current Art Department teacher provides all three elements to the members of the Art Department Advanced Art Project Panel. The Art Department Panel reviews the completed packet with the student, and suggests any revisions to the proposal. The student takes suggestions and makes any alterations to the original proposal. If the panel accepts the student proposal, the student completes the Art Department Advanced Art Project Agreement form. This form, signed by the members of the Art Department Panel, requires the signatures of both the student and parent. 6. The signed agreement is then provided to the Principal. From this signed agreement, the Principal determines whether a request for placement in Independent Study is approved or is denied. That determination is presented to student’s counselor. The Principal informs the student of the determination. 7. Upon approval, the guidance counselor places the Independent Study in the student’s schedule. The guidance counselor maintains a copy of the agreement in the student’s file.

ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS - Words, Graphic Symbols and Illustrations

Graphic artists frequently combine words, illustrations and symbols in their work. An illustration is an image such as a drawing, painting, or photograph that stresses subject more than form. The aim of an illustration is to clarify the meaning of a story, poem or piece of textual information (such as a newspaper article), traditionally by providing a visual representation of something described in the text. A logo is a graphic representation or symbol of a company name, trademark, abbreviation, etc., often uniquely designed for ready recognition.

ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS

PRIMARY: What is an illustration? What is the history of illustrations? SECONDARY: What are graphic symbols? How are images and symbols used to enhance the meaning of ideas and concepts?

ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS - The Third Dimension

Graphic artists and designers are able to illustrate the illusion of depth and distance by using the mathematical system of linear perspective. Linear perspective is created by parallel lines that are drawn and radiate from one point (one-point perspective), two points (two-point perspective), or several points on a horizon line as perceived by a viewer in a fixed position.

ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS

PRIMARY: What is linear perspective? When was it created? How has it evolved? SECONDARY: How do graphic artists apply this mathematical system to their work? How can a computer aid in three-dimensional design? How can it help to create the illusion of 3-D space on a 2-D surface?

ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS - Fantasy Images

Fantasy images belong to a genre that depicts mysterious or magic themes, creatures or settings. Dragons, wizards, fairies and other fantastical and mythical creatures are common features in fantasy art. Fantasy art can appear in many forms, and is sometimes called Neo-surrealism. Like the Surrealist of the early 20th century, contemporary Neo-Surrealism illustrates the complex and compound imagery of dreams or subconscious visions interlaced with ordinary objects in irrational space and form combinations.

ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS

PRIMARY: Why are fantasy images such a big part of popular culture and the internet? Why are they not considered fine art or “high culture”? Who defines “high” and “low” art? SECONDARY: What is the subject matter of fantasy art? Where does the artist gather inspiration?

ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS - Everyday Design

The design of everyday objects shapes our lives, enabling it to function, not only in practical or utilitarian terms, but also in ways that give pleasure, meaning and significance to our lives. Computer graphics can be used to create for example, wood blocks prints used for patterns or cartoon-like graphics on T-shirts. Other objects can include and are not limited to books, gifts, tags, wearable art, posters, calendars, cards, mouse pads, bags and banners.

ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS

PRIMARY: What is form and function? Can art be useful? SECONDARY: How can everyday objects be commonplace and at the same time, extraordinary? Can mundane objects be beautiful and significant in our lives?

ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS - Power to the Pixel Digital paint programs are pixel-based and therefore resolution driven. Major topics such as, input / output issues and workflow will guide the creative thinking process throughout this course. Students will value the use and creative exploitation of digital and traditional techniques by understanding the strengths, weaknesses and differences inherent in each discipline. In order to create meaningful works of digital art, students must understand and master the mindset and creative strategies when using a paint program (Photoshop) versus a draw program (Illustrator). Photoshop (the main program used in ACAG) is a pixel-based software package. It is different from but closely wedded to Illustrator (used in CAG). Knowing and appreciating these differences will result in more intuitive and successful digital images.

ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS

PRIMARY: How can a paint program be used to advantage over, or in corroboration with, a draw program? SECONDARY: How does Photoshop’s interface, command structure and toolset differ from or augment that of Illustrator.

ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS - Design

Computer imaging software allows artists to readily design, represent and manipulate many permutations of any given idea with ease and accuracy. Photoshop affords the luxury of non-destructive trial and error, which encourages students to approach their work fearlessly and with a new and dynamic vision. There is no one illustration or logo that satisfies all who view it. Art is all about communication, and design is the grammar of that visual Esperanto. Photoshop, in tandem with Illustrator, can be used to change or re-interpret images to tell a new story or clarify an existing one. The challenge of redesigning existing established iconography or inventing new ones expands the creative mind and lifts the level of intellectual discussion regarding just what it is we are seeing.

ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS

PRIMARY: How do images communicate via elements of design? SECONDARY: How has digital technology changed and facilitated the way design is used in contemporary society?

ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS - Mirrors and Windows

Inasmuch as every work an artist creates is a form of self portrait, no other work speaks to one’s individuality as a true attempt at representing some aspect of his or her persona or personal philosophy. Digital photography in conjunction with Photoshop and/or Illustrator opens new avenues for expressing one’s perception of, or reflection upon, the world as he or she experiences it. Extensive use and awareness of Filters, Layers, Opacity, Masking, Color spaces and multiple imaging techniques allow pre-conception of a final image or experimentation on the fly. This approach is crucial in using and exploiting Photoshop and Illustrator to their fullest potential. Even traditional drawing, painting and writing skills can be incorporated into these works via scanner or digital stylus. The result is more creativity, more self-confidence and more enduring imagery.

ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS - Art, Inc. Though many artists may choose to work alone, it is important to be able to deal with other artists in collaboration on a given creative project. Students will be given several teacher-generated projects in which they will be required to work with one or two colleagues to produce a series of images. These projects may be commercial, community driven or editorial in nature, and afford a taste of real world art- team experience. Digital creativity tools and technology allow for a type of brainstorming that is more productive than traditional methods. Photoshop, in tandem with other Creative Suite applications and programs such as Inspiration, facilitates this kind of thinking. As a result, students can share and develop ideas with ease and efficiency. Projects can be divided into separate tasks, expediting an organized and clear delineation of each student’s role in the assignment. Cooperation among the artists is essential in achieving the completion of the assigned task with creativity and within the allowed deadline.

ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS - The History, The Science, The Magic

Flash’s digital prowess is impressive, but its roots are in traditional frame by frame animation that has been practiced in one form or another for centuries. This module will take students on a journey through the fascinating history of the moving image. Even cave paintings show evidence that artists were already struggling with the frustration of showing motion with still images. Students view Flash animations daily, (on the web, on their phones, in movies, in ads, in kiosks) but until taking this course, they may not have fully understood the machinations behind the scenes that make their world come alive.

ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS

PRIMARY: How has the art of animation evolved to its current state? How is the illusion of animation accomplished? SECONDARY: How does digital animation differ from traditional methodologies? Where is animation being used in contemporary society?

ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS - What would Disney do?

Walt Disney thought like an animator. He knew how to tell a story in a relatively short time span, yet keep it organized, interesting and entertaining. He and his crew were able to do this by creating a storyboard, a kind of comic strip-like synopsis of what is about to unfold. The storyboard must then be applied to the timeline, the framework that holds the entire animation together. Animators must always think in frames per second. Through the use of Layers, Libraries, Symbols, Sprites and specialized computer enhanced drawing techniques such as tweening, Flash lets animators spend more time creating and less time doing housework.

ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS - A picture is worth 1k words

Just as a picture is said to be worth a thousand words, it is also true that a single word can inspire a thousand pictures. Programming images to move and react to user input via a specialized language may be foreign to most artists, but animators must learn to bridge the gap between word and image in order to fully tell their story. Flash allows students to communicate with their images and viewing audience with an English-like language called ActionScript. Though limited use of this language is applied in Animation 1, the more sophisticated projects required for Animation 2 demand the subtlety and power that a programming language allows.

ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS

PRIMARY: What is ActionScript? SECONDARY: How is ActionScript used to control different aspects of Flash animations?

ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS - Publish or perish! Flash animations can play on many devices and in numerous venues. A single animation can be output to anything from a cell phone to a movie screen. This procedure is called publishing. It is a process that maximizes and compresses a Flash movie to accommodate the idiosyncrasies of any given output device. Of course one must think about the final output before creating the animation itself so as to take the greatest advantage of its strengths. In this module, the input/output thinking process is examined and utilized.

ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS - The Lorax and the Power of GroupThink!

The history of advertising is as enthralling and fraught with emotion and drama as the history of mankind. It’s likely that commerce as we know it was born the moment one cave dweller realized that he had something someone else wanted. The ensuing millennia has brought more sophisticated methods for marketing products and services but the basic concept of creating a need and filling it hasn’t changed a bit. The psychology and strategy involved in a full blown ad campaign has all the earmarks of a major war effort. The history of advertising is forever intertwined with the history of human interaction. History has revealed the art of selling to be largely an exercise in the selling of art. It’s a visual world and advertisers have always taken that knowledge right to the bank. This module introduces all of the major terminology as well as tried-and-true methodologies that companies have used to get the public to buy their wares. From the days of snake oil salesmen hawking their goods from the back of a covered wagon to the personalized ads sent directly to a cell phone, it’s evident that the more things change, the more they remain the same!

ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS - Truth in Advertising (and Other Oxymorons) Computer technology has had a profound influence on the way advertising and the art that accompanies it are presented to potential customers. Ironically, as the technology has grown more inclusive the message has attempted to become more personal. Indeed, the customers run ads on their own “personal pages” on forums like Facebook and MySpace. The unfortunate victim amid all the hoopla of the digital age has been the truth itself. While its definition is stretched to new and uncomfortably awkward limits, attorneys abound to make sure that no one has been “misled.” The irony leaves one nonplussed and frustrated.

ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS - The Mall: Media Paradise

Everything I learned about life, I learned at the mall. Nowhere else on earth is the human drama more evident than the place where thousands of strangers come together on a daily basis to spend (waste ?) time and money on a daily basis. Experiencing the embrace of the mall’s ever-welcoming automatic doors can quickly change one’s frame of mind from stressed to relaxed. Senses are instantly awakened to the sights, sounds and smells of the shops, food court and likeminded populace: electronic gadgets and racks of clothes just waiting to be touched and tried! The mall is a carnival of consumerism, an ongoing experiment in human interaction and the highpoint of the evolution of the ancient art of bartering.

Students constantly deal with the paradoxes of being cool and being responsible, of instant gratification and earning your keep, of growing up and growing old; good versus evil, individual versus the crowd, work versus play . . . are all observable at the mall. The mall is a world within a world, a society within a society, a mass mingling of target groups, and cash cows waiting to be wooed and coddled. The mall is a place where browsing and carousing are honed to a fine art; a haven for young minds and bodies where the messages are plentiful, the media sources are ubiquitous and the parking is free!

ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS - Advertainment: The World of iMedia! If Descartes were alive today and wanted to relate to the masses, he might proclaim, “iThink therefore iAm.” Thanks to Apple Computer’s ad-campaign masterpiece for the iPod, placing a ubiquitous lower case “i” in front of any other word when naming a new product gives that product magical properties and “must have” status. The “i” (which originally stood for internet on the iMac) has come to signify a personalized media device. So iPhones, iPods, iTunes, and the like have underlined the importance of individualized advertising focus. The “I” has come to mean “I”, as in “me”.

With Google gathering info on every living being and digital cookies littering every internet-connected computer, advertisers are in a feeding frenzy over who, how and when to target their next customer. The Gen Xers also need to be entertained as they consume (i.e. “Smells like Teenage Spirit”.)
