Assessment: Grades will be based on: •Successful completion of all major assignments. •Handouts •Class Participation Murray Avenue School - 7th Grade Fine Art Elements of design include: Line, Color, Shape, Value, Texture, Shape & Form. Principles of design include: Pattern, Rhythm, Unity, Movement, Balance, Contrast & Emphasis. Course Description: Along with the Lower Moreland Township School District Art Curriculum, and the Pennsylvania State Standards, 7th Grade art this year will build on concepts learned in Kindergarten through 6th grades. Use of the elements and principles of design to create successful works of art will be reinforced. This year will be spent studying LINE; one of the most significant building blocks of all works of art. We will look at how lines are all around us, creating shapes, value, perspective & depth. We will create projects based on inspiration from various countries around the world. Please feel free to contact me anytime with questions, concerns or input. Please know that I may contact your parents if I have a negative or positive concern. Your positive attitude and involvement in all activities is expected! Email: jboylan@lmtsd.org
