Summary:
|
The Perris Union High School District Educational Services Department has made recommendations for updates in our districtwide course catalog. When a course is discovered to be outdated or lack sufficient information, then a request is sent to the teacher(s) to update the course. At this time we are submitting the revised PC Graphics & Design course.
PC Graphics and Design is a business course where students begin by studying the process of digital art creation and learn the basic elements of art and principles of design as a foundation for creating digital artworks. Artworks created are comprised of the fundamentals of typography, (InDesign) digital painting, digital manipulation, (Photoshop) digital illustration, and graphic design (illustrator). Students gain enhanced artistic perceptions of art and design through the creation of these various digital art projects. Computer graphic software is used to create digital media that visually articulates, expresses, and communicates ideas, concepts and personal experiences in creative and meaningful ways. Students become increasingly aware of art and design in our everyday environment and realize that art in our surroundings have, to some degree, been designed or created by digital artists. Students learn about the importance of art as a means of expression and communication and the ways digital art impacts society and culture. Students use computer software as an instrument to visually articulate, express, and communicate ideas, concepts and personal experiences in creative meaningful ways. Critical thinking skills developed help students examine digital art and design for content, artistic skill and aesthetic value. Students understand, recognize, and analyze, current trends in art and design, how they are influenced by culture and impact everything from, fashion, to music, to advertisements etc. Students assemble a portfolio that showcases their digital designs. Digital art skills learned correlate to current careers in visual arts, media, and entertainment, specifically media and design arts. Students build a portfolio that showcases their best works.
PC Graphics and Design is one of five courses in our Business Pathway. Our pathway includes the following courses: Computer Literacy, Principles of Business, Principles of Business and Entrepreneurship, AP Computer Science, and PC Graphics & Design.
The revised PC Graphics and Design course meets A-G requirements, replaces an older multi-media design course, and has been approved by the Director of Curriculum & Instruction and the Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services.
