This secondary school curriculum guide is written in outline form to simplify the planning of a design-oriented art program. For each of 15 design units, a step-by-step set of instructions is given. Each unit is presented in three stages, each of which is a complete lesson in design. Materials and tools necessary for lesson preparation, motivation ideas, and exploration activities are given for each stage. In addition, each unit provides application suggestions for using the completed work, evaluation objectives, and ideas for expanding upon the lesson. Units include lessons on batik; enameling; resist printmaking; relief printmaking with paper, string, and wood strips; relief printmaking with felt pen, India ink, charcoal, crayon, cut paper, and linoleum or wood blocks; stitchery; hooking; weaving; constructing; modeling; slab sculpture; casting; mosaics; drawing; and painting. The document concludes with an extensive historical survey of art, accompanied by a 4-page bibliography on art history. Topics range from art in ancient Egypt to 20th century American art. (LH)
