General Course Information and Notes
Version Description
Students combine studio practice with academic study to generate self-initiated work that is utilitarian, purposeful, wearable, and/or sculptural in nature. This course may include, but is not limited to, content in metals, jewelry, glass, fabrics/fibers, clay, fashion design, and/or objects for interior or architectural design and embellishment. Student craftsmen and craftswomen manipulate the structural elements of art and the organizational principles of design to create art works that are progressively more innovative and representative of the student's voice and cognitive growth. Students continually reflect upon and analyze aesthetic and visual issues individually and as a group to increase visual literacy. This course incorporates hands-on activities and consumption of art materials.General Notes
Honors and Advanced Level Course Note: Academic rigor is more than simply assigning to students a greater quantity of work. Through the application, analysis, evaluation, and creation of complex ideas that are often abstract and multi-faceted, students are challenged to think and collaborate critically on the content they are learning.General Information

Tutorials
This resource explores the electromagnetic spectrum and waves by allowing the learner to observe the refraction of light as it passes from one medium to another, study the relation between refraction of light and the refractive index of the medium, select from a list of materials with different refractive indicecs, and change the light beam from white to monochromatic and observe the difference.
