Art Education Teacher: Mr. Robert Hoover
Welcome to the
wonderful world of art! Our classes meet once a week
for 40 minutes.
Sketch Book-Art Journal: Students are encouraged to
keep a sketchbook outside of class. Sketchbooks can
be a visual diary of students lives, filled with
memories, new experiences, challenges, and fun!
Artists are not necessarily born artists, they learn
the craft like all other skills. With practice and
encouragement art can expand a child's outlook on
life.
Exhibits: Library area, district office, and local
businesses. At the end of the year Open House every
student will have their work of art displayed.
Every art lesson taught at GIS is based on the
teaching technique known as Discipline Based Art
Education: Every lesson includes at least one, if
not all of the following standards:
- Art History-
Who made the art? Facts and knowledge about the
art and artist. Students learn how factors such
as place and time influence art.
- Art Criticism-
What is the work of art about? Students learn to
read a painting looking for visual clues.
Students learn to discuss a work of art based on
their emotional response.
- Aesthetics-
What is the purpose or function of the work of
art? Why do we like this work of art? Students
examine and use subject matter, themes, and
symbols to give emotional meaning to their work.
- Studio Art-
How is the work of art made? What process,
skills, and techniques are used to create a work
of art?
After school clubs
include water coloring, stamping, and puppet making.
