Welcome to Collingswood High School Art Room 309 with Mrs. Lange! On this site you can explore the classes that are taught in 309 throughout the year. First semester, you will be able to see what my Elements & Principles, Art 2, and Contemporary Crafts classes are learning and creating. Second semester you will see an addition to this site when Sculpture 1 and Mixed Media classes begin.
The Arts contribute to the achievement of social, economic & human growth by fostering creativity and providing opportunities for expression beyond the limits of language. Some big ideas we focus on in art are...
- Aesthetic knowledge stimulates judgments & imagination empowering students to interpret, appreciate and extract meaning from the arts.
- Active participation in the arts leads to a comprehensive understanding of the imaginative & creative process.
- An understanding of the elements & principles of art is essential to the creative process & artistic production.
- Through the critical process, students formulate judgments regarding artistic & aesthetic merits of artwork.
- The relationship of the arts and culture is mutually dependent; culture affects the arts & the arts reflect & preserve culture.
