My name is Caroline Bartlett. I am known as "Mrs. B" to my students. Teaching art has been the passion of my life. I began teaching 25 years ago and I believe that anyone can be an artist. I studied art at MTSU and have my degree in Fine Art/Art Education and a M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction. I teach Art 1. Art 2, Art 3 and Art 3D classes. My goal is to help students grow their creativity and skills. I have been blessed with many outstanding student artists who have received local, regional, state and national art awards.

ART Class Descriptions:

ART 1: Intro to Visual Art

This introductory art class is an overall study of visual art. In this year long course, students will complete over 50 plus art assignments from art history to drawing to sculpture. In the first nine weeks, the major focus is on art history from prehistoric to modern times and on the elements of art – line, shape, form, color, value, texture, and space. How these elements are put together in a composition -- the principles of design – is the foundation of the second nine weeks; students will explore the ways that well known artists have used these basic building blocks of art. In the third 9 weeks, we explore art from cultures around the world. In the fourth 9 weeks, students review their art textbook, art folders are completed and are given independent art making class time. Throughout the year, we will explore many periods of art history, artists, styles & media and develop technical & critical thinking skills. Activities include studio projects, sketchbook, reading, writing, group activities, art instructional videos and quizzes. All activities count toward your grade. Students will need to bring a sketchbook and pencil to each class.

ART 2: Drawing and Painting

Prerequisite: completed Art I with a final grade of a B or higher

Art 2 is an extension of Art 1 and emphasizes a higher level of art studies than Art 1 Class. Students must have taken Art 1 or have drawing/painting experience to enroll in this class. The students must keep a sketchbook updated with daily sketches and studies of work. Students will be expected to complete over 50 artworks throughout the school year. Art 2 students practice competence in the techniques, tools and media presented in class. Art 2 students work in teams on class projects but will also work independently. Student will also research, write and present their studies of well-known artists each month of the past and present. Students will be required to organize a portfolio of their work.

Art 3: Advanced Art

Prerequisite: both Art 1 and 2 courses completed with a final grade of a B or higher.

Course Description: An advanced level course in drawing/painting/sculpture with an emphasis on developing a greater depth of understanding of art and application of the Elements of Art and Principles of Design to their work in a variety of media. Weekly studio experiences include drawing, painting, illustration, and printmaking projects. Each student will demonstrate progress over time by developing a body of work and organizing a portfolio and over 100 drawings in their sketchbooks. ART 3 students learn about contemporary art/artists and then create their own art. We will critique student work and also explore many professional artists-their artwork and their lives. The goal is to be inspired by professional artists but become your own artist and find your style and focus. Senior Art 3 students will organize their senior Art Show exhibit in the Spring of their senior year for the community.

3D Art: Sculpture, Pottery and Crafts

Prerequisite: both Art 1 and/or Art 2 courses completed with a final grade of a B or higher. $10 class fee.

This art course deals with art in its 3-Dimensional form. A variety of mediums will be explored, which may include textiles, ceramics, paper, wire sculptures…and more. Students will participate in a wide range of experiences using additive or subtractive sculptural techniques designed to build artistic and creative confidence. An appreciation for art from various cultures will be developed. Art 3D Projects are designed to teach thinking skills and to include useful art experiences, so that no matter what vocation students pursue, the knowledge gained in this class will be of value to them. A sketchbook is required to be updated daily with sketches of ideas and studies. Students will work in teams on class projects but also independently when needed.

$10 art fee due by September--this helps us with the cost of clay and other materials used in many 3D projects throughout the year.
