7th graders focused on data first semester starting with the idea that every graph tells a story. They interpreted a variety of graphs and infographics. Then students explored how data can be turned in to art to communicate important information and change human action. Students researched or collected data on a topic of their choice and created an art form to express their data. They wrote an artist statement which included a brief description of their artwork to help viewers gain understanding. Students also reflected on their finished piece of art and the overall project. The project culminated with an art show on December 19. Students had the opportunity to view all of their classmate’s artwork. During the art show, they selected 2 pieces of artwork to analyze/critique (2 things they liked about each piece, 1 question about the piece or 1 thing they think they would change.)
