Visual Arts ACTS Focus Class: The ACTS art class is made up of an outstanding group of
sixth grade students who are all uniquely talented in the field of art. This
year they have created three dimensional, life size King Tut style masks, as well
as ceiling tile tessellations, curve stitching, and clay sculpture. Visual art is an important aspect of ACTS. It is my goal
to encourage students to create qualitative art that is an expression of their
feelings, knowledge, and experiences. I will do this by incorporating the six
visual art standards outlined in the S.C. Visual and Performing Arts
Standards. There are many valid reasons for art education. It teaches
students to think abstractly, to be tolerant of others, and to problem solve
creatively. I think the most important aspect of art education is self
expression. While my students are learning about famous artists and the art
of diverse cultures, it is important that they create their own art as a
means of self expression, not merely copy other artists.
