Welcome to the Moose Lake Community School Art Department web page. Students and parents can access lessons for classes being taught.
"Artistic creativity is a whirlpool of imagination that swirls in the depths of the mind."
Here at Moose Lake we offer 3 courses( High School) in the Fine Arts(Drawing, Painting and Ceramics) and 3 courses in the Media arts(Photography, Graphic Design and Video Production).
We also offer K-6th grade elementary Art. Mrs. DeYoung is also another Art Specialist who teaches elementary art.
Elementary art is offered once a week on a 7 day rotation
Courses required are 7th and 8th grade Art.
From 9th -12th the courses are electives. Students will need 1 credit in the Fine Arts to graduate(this includes choir and band)
All High School electives are offered by Trimester
Trimester 1: Drawing and Photography
Trimester 2: Graphic Design and Video Production
Trimester 3: Painting and Ceramics
All electives have a prerequisite of Drawing I which is given to the 8th grade students.7th grade art is now Art Fundamentals and a precursor to Drawing I.
Grading: Students are graded on participation and assignments. 50/50. Participation is based on being a community student. Students are responsible for returning supplies or materials to their locations, attendance (unexcused will be a loss of points)cleaning up after themselves, and hard work. Students are given their participation points ahead of time. It is their responsibility to keep their points(just like a job, performance based) Assignments are based on the objective, creativity, quality and how well did they meet the objective/goal of the lesson.
