Become visually aware of detail in the natural and constructed environment. In part, the visual art program is concerned with education the sense of sight. Although we all take in information through our senses, we do not automatically take in all the information that is available to us. Students must spend time honing their skills of observation in order to become more aware of the detailed visual information in their surroundings. Students should become aware that visual details contribute to their understanding of the whole.
Evaluation Listen to what the students say about what they see.
Pay attention to both the quantity and quality of the students' observations. For example, if the students have been on an observation field trip, look for number and variety of observations, and for interesting and unusual observations. Look for student understanding of how details relay information that help people understand the whole. Understand the elements of visual art. The elements of art are line, colour, texture, shape and form.
