Throughout the year the students will be guided by Essential Questions: What is art and how is it made? Why and how does art change? How we describe our thinking about art? Students will learn art history through experiencing art, contextual and visual analysis, lectures, activities, discussions, creative projects, writing, reading, and understanding art vocabulary. They learn to develop their skill in analyzing works of art including paintings, drawings, sculpture, architecture, ceramics, printmaking, & fibers. An emphasis will be put on learning works of art through context, styles, and meaning to determine century, culture, and artist.
