INDUSTRIAL ARTS
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
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.
