INDUSTRIAL ARTS MISSION STATEMENT

 

 

 

It is the belief of the instructor that the ability to communicate through the use of graphic images is an essential component of every student’s education.  If a person is to function effectively in a highly-visual society, they must possess a degree of understanding in communicating and interpreting visual images.   The established course offerings in Industrial Education include Photography, Graphic Arts, Design and Production and Computer Assisted Design.  They are structured to provide the Glen Ridge High School student with a comprehensive background of knowledge towards this goal.

 

Consideration must be given to the diverse levels of ability and varied student needs within the structure of the course content and project design.  Classes are often mixed across grade levels and the instructional techniques must vary so that every student is capable of mastering skills and gaining knowledge.  It is our hope that each student will develop technical, artistic and creative skills as well as a command of a body of knowledge which will contribute to the development of critical thinking skills.

 

We believe that the present course offerings best serve the needs of our student population in their pursuit of a comprehensive education and will create a solid foundation for the individual who may choose to pursue a career in one of the graphic related fields.

Course Structure

 

CAD I classes are equipped to hold a maximum of twenty-five students and are available to grades 9, 10, 11 and 12.  The classes meet for forty-two minutes per day, five days per week and are designed as full year electives.  A final grade of C or better is required to move on to the next year’s level.

 

Each student is assigned a computer and necessary software for instruction and project design.  Every computer is networked to a Hewlett Packard Laser Jet 4100N black and white printer, a Hewlett Packard Color Laser Jet 4500N color printer, and an HP Design Jet 450C Color Plotter.

 


The first three marking periods of the CAD I course deals exclusively with engineering drawing covering the topics of orthographic projection, oblique, isometric, one point, two point, sectioning, auxiliary projections and surface developments.  The final marking period is devoted exclusively to architectural design. 

 

Students are graded on both quantity and quality of their work.  Four interim grades are given after four weeks into a marking period and four marking periods, and a final average appears on the student’s report card.  A mid-term and a final activity are assigned to each student and will be completed during the regular exam periods.  The grade for these exercises is averaged into both the second and fourth marking period grades and do not stand alone as examination grades.
