Provide Background Details and Rationale: Art teachers from the three high schools created an Art History course as another option for students to obtain a fine art credit. Art History provides the student with an introduction to architecture, painting, sculpture and photography from Western and non-Western traditions. Students will use visual analysis, contextual information and comparative criticism to discuss and write about the aesthetics of art as related to these cultures. By the end of the course, students will have a broader perspective on the significance of art in human history, a deeper understanding of various artistic movements, and an enhanced ability to analyze, interpret, and appreciate art. The curriculum will be on review until December 14, 2023 when it is presented to the Board for final approval. Notice of the review will be communicated via "Board Highlights" email, and posted on the district website informing patrons of the proposed adoption.
