  • Visual Arts – Specific Rules/Guidelines
    Visual Arts – Specific Rules/Guidelines VISUAL ARTS include many art forms that are visual in nature. The artist (student submitting entry) is a person who captures their own thoughts and ideas to create a visual piece of art. Accepted forms of visual art include: Collages, photographic collages (multiple photos cut/pasted), computer-generated image, design, drawing, painting, and printmaking. Non-accepted forms of visual art include: 3D artwork (artwork that is not flat on the surface). Reproductions or enlargements of another artwork. Reflect on the 2020-2021 Theme: I Matter Because… An explanation of the art form might be a useful addition to the artist statement. Whether an entry displays use of formal technique or a simple approach, it will be judged primarily on how well the student uses his or her artistic vision to portray the theme, originality and creativity. Copyright: Use of copyrighted material, including any copyrighted cartoon characters or likeness thereof, is not acceptable in any visual arts submission, with the following exceptions: • Visual artwork may include public places, well-known products, trademarks or certain other copyrighted material as long as that copyrighted material is incidental to the subject matter of the piece and/or is a smaller element of a whole. The resulting work cannot try to establish an association between the student and the trademark/business/material, or influence the purchase/non-purchase of the trademarked good. • Visual arts collages may include portions of existing copyrighted works, such as photographs, magazine clippings, internet images and type cut out of a newspaper, as long as those portions of copyrighted works are used to create a completely new and different work of art.

  • The Visual Arts in What Art Is by Joan Mitchell Blumenthal
    The Visual Arts in What Art Is By Joan Mitchell Blumenthal As the twentieth century progressed, those who believed that its art could not becom e more perverse or self- defeating were proved wrong by every charlatan or madman who claimed to be making or respond ing to art. If anything could be a remedy for the current tragic state of the arts, it would be the probing, insightful, and eminently read able analysis of the problem presented by L ouis Torres and Michelle Mard er Kam hi. Understanding that the advancing demise of the arts stems from a vacuum in the philosophical, creative, and critical spheres, the authors begin with a study of esthetic theory, looking into the question of what art has been considered to be historically, and how the task of defining art has been progressively abandoned in this century. At every step, they have been careful to elucidate the opinions of those thinkers whose work has merit, along with an adequate sampling of those whose thoughts are sh own to be clearly incorrect and contradictory. Definin g Wh at Art Is They orient much of their discussion around the definition and theories of Ayn Rand, not because she left an exhaustive study of the arts, nor even one that is faultless and totally consistent, but because her definition and many of her explanations are philosophically and psychologically fundamental, and can be extended—as the authors do throughout the book— to further illuminate the nature and spiritual function of art. After discussing the nature of definitions in general, Torres and Kam hi subject Rand’s definition , “‘ Art is the selective re-creation of reality according to an artist’s metaphysical value judgments’” (26), to detailed scrutiny (chapter 6).

  • K-12 Visual Arts Curriculum
    K-12 VISUAL ARTS CURRICULUM OVERVIEW Development: 2000. A committee of K-12 teachers with expertise in the visual arts revised the Visual Art curriculum over a three-year period to reflect the national, state and local standards. The committee gathered feedback from teachers, national research, and outside experts in the field. Christa McAuliffe, a Vt state consultant, worked with the department to help shape the content of the document. 2006. The art department revised this document to align with the current Vt State Grade Cluster Expectations. Arts consultant Wendy Cohen helped shape this process. The revised document consolidates seven standards learning expectations into four Grade Expectation standards. It re-orders the sequences of some Grade Expectations concepts from one grade level to another. Content is defined more clearly. The revised document includes the K-12 Visual Art Curriculum, K-12 scope and sequence modeled from the National Art Standards and the Vermont State Grade Cluster Expectations. Implementation: This curriculum information, along with the Grade Cluster Expectations, will be used by teachers to plan and carry out instruction. In most cases students will demonstrate standards achievement by both the process of problem solving and creativity as well as by the finished pieces of art. Assessment: Assessment in the Visual Arts is completed by a process that includes both student and teacher input. Students self-assess against pre-determined criteria directly related to the standards and GCE’s. Students also begin to critique both their own work and the work of others through a guided process led by teachers. Professional Development: Professional development for all staff members is ongoing with courses, workshops, conferences, college and university contact and continued personal development as artists themselves.
