Unit Title: Shadow Art Key Concepts: Perspective Global Context: Personal and Cultural Expression
Unit Overview Students will develop a larger appreciation for how the Arts allow people to look at the world from other perspectives. We will then examine our relationship with materials and the waste that we create. Using trash collected from our homes and beaches students will construct an assemblage that will resemble their profile. With the light off the assemblage is only a pile of trash not worth anyone attention. However once we shine the light on the trash do we only pay attention to the shadow that it projects. This artwork will serve as a metaphor for how we view waste.
