TF Digital Tech Literacy: 04/15 - 04/16 (Hybrid): Introduction to Digital Art & Sketchpad.IO

Introduction

Digital Literacy Class: We are going to learn about so many incredible ways to be creative, collaborative, and to communicate. We will focus on computer skills and applications. Some topics you already know about, and you will know better, and other topics and applications will be new to you! Either way, we will work together to find the ones you are able to use best. This class consists of Project-Based-Learning. You will be given plenty of time to learn the skills and applications that you will use for a lifetime. I hope you enjoy the material we will cover. - Mr. S

04/15 - 04/16 (Hybrid): Introduction to Digital Art & Sketchpad.IO

In today's class, students will be introduced to the discipline of digital arts through the exploration of Sketchpad.IO. Students will learn about the basic elements of art, and how to use the various tools when using a digital drawing application. The art that the students create will be two- dimensional and entirely created on the computer or with a camera. There will be opportunities for students to expand their creativity and push their minds to the limit. Students will create self-portraits, digital photographs, collages, digital paintings, or other projects to show mastery.

Assignment #1 (❗️): Students will create an original art piece using at least 3 of the 5 Elements of Art discussed in class. This can be a self-portrait, landscape, or can represent any other genre of digital art. All submissions MUST Conform to the requirements outlined in the Freire Schools Student Handbook for appropriateness for subject matter or topic.

You must submit your digital art using both Gmail and Dropbox for credit. Please attach your project to a Gmail to MR. S (harvey.scribner@techfreire.org), and use the following dropbox link:

Overall Academic Class Standards

SELF-ASSESSMENTS

Student Self-Assessments refer to training students to evaluate themselves, and their work, for the purpose of improving outcomes. To become capable evaluators of their work, students must have:

- a clear target (goal)

- the opportunity to help create definitions of the quality of work.

- the opportunity to correct, or self-adjust, their work before turning it in.

Students are also prompted to reflect and evaluate strengths, weaknesses, and areas of improvement. These skills will allow for planning, improvement, goal-setting, and reflection. Emphasis will be placed on integration of previous learning across the school curriculum.

ISTE 2. Communication and Collaboration

Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others:

a. Interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media

b. Communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of media and formats

3. Research and Information Fluency
