Art Appreciation is a survey of the history of Western visual arts, with a primary focus on painting. Students begin with an introduction to the basic principles of painting and learn how to critique and compare works of art. Students then explore prehistoric and early Greek and Roman art before they move on to the Middle Ages. Emphasis is placed on the Renaissance and the principles and masters that emerged in Italy and northern Europe. Students end their art tour with the United States during the 20th century, a time of great innovation as abstract art took center stage. While Western art is the course’s primary focus, students will also be exposed to art of Asia and the Americas.

Coverage of each artistic movement highlights historical context and introduces students to key artists that represent a variety of geographic locations. Throughout the course, students apply what they have learned about art critique to analyze and evaluate both individual artists and individual works of art.

Biology offers a curriculum that focuses on the mastery of basic biological skills, concepts, and models that are important for students to know and apply in everyday life. The course begins with the study of cell and molecular biology and covers experimental design; chemistry and the biochemical basis of life; cell structure and function; basic metabolism; and genetics. Building on this foundation is an exploration into evolution, biodiversity, organismal biology, and ecology. As part of the study of vertebrates, the structure and function of major organ systems and biological processes in humans are introduced. Teacher-graded labs encourage students to apply the scientific method.
Prerequisites: Middle school / Junior High life science
Materials:

• Biology Exploring Life Lab Manual, Neil A. Campbell. ©2004, Prentice Hall.ISBN 0130642665; ~ $10.00
