Course Description: 3D CONCEPTS GRADES: 8-12 Credit: 1 Unit 3-D Concepts is a materials based approach to the production of three-dimensional art. Students explore a variety of sculptural media from paper to recycled materials. Students develop skills, confidence, and craftsmanship in the use of media, technique, and process. - My hope is that students will gain an understanding of themselves and the world around them through hands-on art making and the study of artists situated in many cultures. My goal is for students to develop an appreciation for good citizenship through mutual respect of peers and their artwork and consistent work ethic through the exploration of ideas through media. Students will learn to set goals and high expectation for themselves and exhibit commitment to tasks, especially through difficult times in their growth. Students will practice formulating new ideas, innovative thinking, teamwork, and become visually literate, all skills that will contribute to their success in a global economy.
