视觉艺术

概述

An appreciation for the visual arts takes Maumee Valley students on a journey of expression and storytelling as well as one of building skills and terminology. Students look at art, 谈论艺术, make their own art, and visit the 沃尔夫画廊, our on-site exhibition space. Maumee Valley students develop methods to communicate their ideas by experimenting with materials while focusing on design, color, 作文, 与自然.

Students can develop these skills in a range of mediums, 从图, 绘画, and design to sculpture, 版画, 纤维艺术, 和造纸. Art appreciation, art history, and aesthetics are incorporated into each grade level. Students study celebrated artists in their historical context. Hands-on creation, 示威活动, 讲座, 故事, 讨论, and guest artists are a regular part of the classroom experience.

The visual arts program culminates in a vibrant and multi-faceted experience for 上学校 students. Goals of the 上学校 art program include understanding the basic principles of color and design; creating works in two and three dimensions; using excellent craftsmanship and technique; critiquing artwork using appropriate vocabulary; and understanding the importance of recognizing artists from a range of cultural backgrounds and historical periods.
