Art Tech Homework  8th graders will begin working on their BIG PICTURE PROJECTS once they start in the Art Tech Labs. Museum of Science & Industry Visual Art Technology Welcome the updated edition of the VISUAL ART TECHNOLOGY web page. I'm Frank Tomaszkiewicz, Art Tech Instructor. Hopefully this website will be an easy source of information for students and their parents. The VISUAL ART TECHNOLOGY course was originally designed by business professionals in the Arts & Communications Industry cluster (advertising, computer-generated imaging, & television). These professionals wanted middle school students to be introduced to creative communication skills needed for '...jobs that don't exist as yet.' Art Tech provides students explorations in lasers, cameras, and computers, but this all occurs while emphasizing CAREER PATHWAY skills that our students will need for successful competition in the 21st Century Global Economy. In Art Tech, traditional imaging skills in visual art are blended with digital technologies. Final Grades for Exploratory Marking Periods will be given on the last day of each 34 class session. MISSING WORK and MISSED CLASS SESSIONS can always be made up BEFORE SCHOOL ON MONDAYS, WEDNESDAYS, or FRIDAYS. Selected student pieces from the 35th Student Touring Art Show will continue to be on display in the 'long hallway' at Hadley. A Hadley Art Tech student work won an award at the 2008 Scholastic Art Contest. The National Art Education Association has again recognized Hadley Art Tech as one of the outstanding visual arts programs in America for 2008-2009. Hadley is the only middle school to win this award 16 times. The Illinois State Board of Education has designated Hadley's Exploratory Art Technology as an Outstanding Innovative Curriculum since 2002. The DuPage Regional Office of Education has awarded Hadley Art Tech the Outstanding Integrated Curriculum Award for successful and continuing school/business partnerships. Jostens Publishing will work with Hadley Art Tech students to produce the school's digital yearbook for delivery in June, 2009. 8th Grade Art Tech students will have their 'Big Picture' communications projects due on the last day of each current rotation. Art Tech 'mid-terms' will occur during the fourth week of each marking period. Art Tech students check out the newly repaired neon sign in class.  |
