| Brief description of the Unit |
This intermediate unit is designed to help students explore and understand technological and production processes across various creative disciplines, particularly within the visual arts. Students collaborate to explore a diverse range of materials and skill-building processes. Led by artist-practitioner teachers, workshop intensives will emphasize design thinking, production values, and creative technologies. Engaging in a variety of creative activities, students will develop their artistic potential and critical thinking skills through hands-on experience with design and production processes. Students will also reflect on their aesthetic responses to workshop prompts, exploring how these contribute to their evolving identities as artists within a broader community. |
