Please visit Google Classroom for daily announcements, assignments & due dates.

Art 1 is a step-by-step study of the elements and principles of design through art-making. Students will explore these concepts and relate them to art historical movements as well as their own creations. Through classroom discussions, research, skill & techniques practice and visual projects, students will be exposed to a variety of materials , art movements and artists as well as be able to recognize and evaluate the use of the elements and principles studied throughout the course.
