Frequently Asked Questions
You will need pencil/pen, sketchbook and access to your email, Google Classroom and a thumb drive.
Do we have test or even an EOC in an art class?
Yes, every unit has a unit test and you have an end-of-course exam in media arts.
Is this a typical art class, and what's the difference between media arts and art one? Is it easy?
This class falls under the Wando visual arts department. The curriculum was designed under the SC state standards for media arts. The difference between media arts and art one is that art one is centered around traditional media (pencil, acrylic, watercolor), history and techniques. Media incorporates traditional theories, but allows you to explore visual art by creating and analyzing it through use of the Web, apps, blogs, magazine, TV, history and your daily life. This class is challenging. You are expected to perform and produce artwork.
Welcome, and enjoy class!
