Ages 15yr-18yr
Tracy Gregory
Fall 2022
Social Studies
- World History
Schedule:
Tuesday - Classroom - 228: 12:00 pm - 12:50 pm
Description:
Students will study and investigate history through the lens of Art. How did art genres respond to or become influenced by the social, political, and environmental climate of the day.
This is a year long course study. Fall/Winter Semester will begin in the Prehistoric and Ancient time period of ~4000 BC - 400 AD. It will conclude approximately during the Art Nouveau genre that ended in 1910. Spring Semester will pick up with the events leading to WWI and carry through to current events of the 21st Century. The Art Genre’s of these time frames include Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Realism, Art Nouveau, Impressionism, Post Impressionism, Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, OP Art, Pop Art, Minimalism and Contemporary. Each and everyone one of these genres is connected with current events of their time.
My goal is lead the students as they explore the events with open fresh minds, and to leave behind any notion of stuffy old boring dead people that feel disconnected and unremarkable in the context of the students current daily living and navigating their current world.
Requirements:
This is a CORE class. It has a high level of expectation on the students, parents and the teacher. The course work may include: lecture, scholarly discovery, report and or essay assignments, quizzes, art discovery project and a final presentation (in lieu of a final test). There will be approximately 2.5 hours of homework per week on average (30 minutes/day). I require interactive acknowledgment of Slack posts to our class channel (emoji count)
Materials: No text book required. The supply fee will cover hand outs and art project supplies as needed. Access to a computer and printer, as well as the ability to access Google Scholar and/or peer reviewed library text for generating research to complete assignments is necessary. From time to time there may be scholarly videos online, to watch as part of their assignments as well. Students will supply a dedicated three ring binder (1 ½ - 2”) with topic dividers to keep their handouts, assignments and quizzes organized.

Schedule:
Wednesday - Art Studio - 129: 3:00 pm - 4:20 pm
Description:
2D Art will explore several disciplines: drawing, painting, silhouette, & collage. We will be using Micron Pens, colored pencils, gouache, construction paper, bristol paper, x-acto knives and various other tools and art supplies.
This class is suitable for all artistic skill levels.
The emphasis of this class is to expose students to 2D art mediums and to build their creative skills through the elements and principles of design. Projects may include: Abstract Drawing, Zentangle, Collage, Optial Art, Negative Space and Surrealism
In this class students will:
Generate, conceptualize, organize and develop artistic ideas and work.
Refine and complete artistic work.
Come to class with: pencil, sketchbook (provided) and homework complete.
In this class students are expected to:
Be respectful, give their best effort, be prepared for class and have fun!
Projects will be worked on in class and may require additional at home work (30 minutes/week). An ample amount of work time during class is provided for the students, if using time allotted students the need for homework will be negligible. When possible I will loan supplies to students to take home so they may complete their project on their own time.
Requirements:
The projects are chosen to suit all levels of artistic skill. No pre-requisite needed.
All supplies are provided by the teacher, some are shared and some are for the student to keep. Students will be given a sketchbook, for sketching ideas, practicing techniques taught in class, taking notes on homework and general doodling of their own volition.
Parents please make a habit of responding to Slack messages, so I know you have read them, either with a reply in thread or an emoji.
This is a delight directed course for students who can demonstrate independent confidence with clay. prerequisite: a demonstrated ability to be self directed after completing beginning ceramics classes with Miss Sia or myself.
Most importantly students must have a desire to create with clay and are willing to outline their own project objectives for the term. Examples: I want to make a matching set of cups and saucers, I want to make jewelry pieces, I want to sculpt garden art.
We can then discuss a quantity and time line for each project and then the student will be expected to work on their own during class. I am here to help any way they need, but I will not be lecturing.
Requirements:
Students must be able to identify the stages of clay: plastic, bone dry, greenware, bisque and glazed.
Students must be able to describe “slip and score”
Students can correctly place work in progress on the proper staging areas.
If desiring to throw on the wheel, they may show that they have taken wheel throwing with Miss Sia or myself.
Students will submit sketch’s or reference photos, before the first day of class, with projects they desire to complete.
