Artists – Your goals are going to sound a bit different, and you may feel as though you are seeing a similar one more often than you normally might. This is because we are going to be using the National Visual Art Standards as a basis for the GOALS. Rather than me (Mr. Korb) rewriting clever and NEW ways to get to the point, I will be using GOALS that have been set up. While the phrasing may be different than the National Visual Art Standards, the ideas are very much the same. 1 extra credit sketchbook if you come to me after the fact and tell me one of the SPECIFIC National Visual Art Standards from the link above…
