 * Welcome to Shanghai American School High School Visual Art Classes on the Pudong campus 2010-2011. The Visual Arts have changed dramatically in the last ten years. We are no longer decorators with our images and applications but are instead, THINKERS with material applications and research that assists to provide a visual voice for our thoughts.**


 * The Visual Arts program is broken into three basic criteria for instruction: Concept, Research and Skill. Throughout the courses, we will be using this basic format in designing all assignments with the addition of creativity/originality, synthesis, analysis and responsibility as part of the overall assessment.**


 * I encourage you to look at your student's work, ask them about their process in class, and experience part of their process through their journal homework.**


 * All Visual Arts students on the Pudong campus keep an investigation book (or journal) of concepts, research, applications and experiences in addition to participation in regular studio practices.**
