Student Art Work

JMMS Art Program

The JMMS Art and Photography program works to support student work in the development of the art standards. Below are the standards utilized at JMMS to complete art and photography curriculum.

Processing, Analyzing, and Responding to Sensory Information Through the Language and Skills Unique to the Visual Arts

Students perceive and respond to works of art, objects in nature, events, and the environment. They also use the vocabulary of the visual arts to express their observations.

• 1.1 Use artistic terms when describing the intent and content of works of art.

• 1.2 Analyze and justify how their artistic choices contribute to the expressive quality of their own works of art.

• 1.3 Analyze the use of the elements of art and the principles of design as they relate to meaning in video, film, or electronic media.

Creating, Performing, and Participating in the Visual Arts

Students apply artistic processes and skills, using a variety of media to communicate meaning and intent in original works of art.

• 2.1 Demonstrate an increased knowledge of technical skills in using more complex two-dimensional art media and processes (e.g., printing press, silk screening, computer graphics software).

• 2.2 Design and create maquettes for three-dimensional sculptures.

• 2.3 Create an original work of art, using film, photography, computer graphics, or video.

Responding to, Analyzing, and Making Judgments About Works in the Visual Arts

Students analyze, assess, and derive meaning from works of art, including their own, according to the elements of art, the principles of design, and aesthetic qualities.

• 4.1 Define their own points of view and investigate the effects on their interpretation of art from cultures other than their own.

• 4.2 Develop a theory about the artist's intent in a series of works of art, using reasoned statements to support personal opinions.

• 4.3 Construct an interpretation of a work of art based on the form and content of the work.

• 4.4 Develop and apply a set of criteria as individuals or in groups to assess and critique works of art.

• 4.5 Present a reasoned argument about the artistic value of a work of art and respond to the arguments put forward by others within a classroom setting.

• 4.6 Select a grouping of their own works of art that reflects growth over time and describe the progression.

Connecting and Applying What Is Learned in the Visual Arts to Other Art Forms and Subject Areas and to Careers

Students apply what they learn in the visual arts across subject areas. They develop competencies and creative skills in problem solving, communication, and management of time and resources that contribute to lifelong learning and career skills. They also learn about careers in and related to the visual arts.
