Unit 2: The Human Printer
Inquiry Statement: By understanding how the color mode of CMYK works, students will interpret and create artworks blending digital and traditional technologies that communicate a message of the students' choice.
Key Concept: Communication is the exchange or transfer of signals, facts, ideas and symbols. It requires a sender, a message and an intended receiver. Communication involves the activity of conveying information or meaning. Effective communication requires a common 'language' (which may be written, spoken or non-verbal).
Conceptual Understanding: Produce artwork that blends digital and traditional technologies, developing a deep understanding of how the two complement each other.
Global Concept: Scientific and technical innovation How do we understand the world in which we live?
Students will explore the natural world and its laws; the interaction between people and the natural world; how humans use their understanding of scientific principles; the impact of scientific and technological advances on communities and environments; the impact of environments on human activity; how humans adapt environments to their needs.
Which specific MYP objectives will be addressed during this unit?
A: Knowing and understanding
i. demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the art form studied, including concepts, processes, and the use of subject-specific terminology
ii. demonstrate the application of skills and techniques to create, perform and/or present art.
C: Thinking creatively
iii. demonstrate the exploration of ideas to shape artistic intention through to a point of realization.
D: Responding
i. construct meaning and transfer learning to new settings
ii. create an artistic response which intends to reflect or impact on the world around them
iii. critique the artwork of self and others.
Unit 1: Media Experimentation Life Drawing
Key Concept: Creativity
Global Context: Personal and Cultural Expression
What is the nature and purpose of creative expression?
Students will explore the ways in which we discover and express ideas, feelings, nature, culture, beliefs and values; the ways in which we reflect on, extend and enjoy our creativity; our appreciation of the aesthetic.
Statement of Inquiry: Through the exploration of different media, students will practice and learn about creatively solving visual problems, styling artwork purposefully and practicing compositional skills.
Lines of Inquiry:
Conceptual How can different applications of artistic media impact aesthetic qualities?
Conceptual How does composition change or direct the viewer's observations on artwork?
Debatable How can artists make or produce something new and original today, when so many artists have been solving creative problems before them?
