Art Grade 8 Unit #1
Course/Subject: Art
Grade: 8
Suggested Timeline: 45 Day course
Grade Level Summary In this course, students express themselves creatively through drawing, sculpting, painting, and ceramic, to develop art skills and concepts. Composition, technique, the elements and principles of design, and attention-to-detail are explored. Art history, art appreciation, problem solving, and critical thinking are integrated into lessons.
Grade Level Units Unit 1: The Elements and Principles of Art Unit 2: Clay/3-D sculpture Unit 3: One-Point & Two-Point Perspective Unit 4: Self Portrait Unit 5: Pen & Ink Unit 6: Landscapes Unit 7: Art History Research
Unit Title The Elements and Principles of Art
Unit Summary Collaborate with other artists to explore and invent unique solutions to problems.
Unit Essential Questions: 1. How do artists use the elements and principles as tools for
artistic expression? 2. How does a reflective, creative process unfold over time? 3. How do artists work in collaboration?
Key Understandings: 1. Artistic practice often involves collaboration among groups of
people. 2. The skills, techniques, elements and principles of the arts can
be learned, studied, refined and practiced. 3. The artist’s creative process is reflective work that happens
over time to integrate knowledge, solve problems, and synthesize ideas.
Focus Standards Addressed in the Unit: Standard Number Standard Description
9.1.8.A Know and use the elements and principles of each art form to create works in the arts and humanities.
9.1.8.B Recognize, know, use and demonstrate a variety of appropriate arts elements and principles to produce, review and revise original works in the arts.
9.1.8.C Identify and use comprehensive vocabulary within each of the arts forms.

9.1.8.J Incorporate specific uses of traditional and contemporary technologies within the design for
producing, performing and exhibiting works in the arts or the works of others.
● Explain and demonstrate traditional technologies (e.g., paint, tools, sponges,
weaving designs, instruments, natural pigments/glazes).
● Explain and demonstrate contemporary technologies (e.g., MIDI keyboards,

Misconceptions: Proper Conceptions: Each element of art has to be focused on individually; that they are not related to each other. Students will remember each all of the elements since we talk about them every year. How to make sure that all students grasp the concepts to be able to effectively transition this information to their project.
Planning ideas is essential for successful outcomes on the products produced in class.
