NETS•S Curriculum Series: Visual Arts Units for All Levels presents 20 classroom projects that use technology in support of visual art in the curriculum.

A well-chosen image has always been an important tool for instruction. While rooted in the most basic and ancient of human needs and behaviors, art is as relevant today in the information age as it was in the print and pre-print eras, perhaps even more so. Some of the skills covered in these units are working with graphics files (such as selecting, saving as, converting, importing), creating slide shows, hyper linking multimedia, digital animation, and virtual reality, among others. The projects described in this book are designed to be flexible and can be modified to fit a wide variety of grade levels and individual classroom needs.

Features:

• 20 multi-week units keyed to NETS•S
• Interdisciplinary links, teaching tips, lesson extenders, and assessment rubrics for each unit
• Sample projects, Web resources links, Conceptual and Pedagogical Overviews for each unit, and suggestions for sharing the work
