Art 1
This course will give students a chance to experiment with what other visual art classes offer, providing a chance to grow and develop an understanding of multiple processes and a variety of materials and mediums, as well as, an overall appreciation for art. During this blended version of Art 1, we will explore a variety of digital art including photography, film, digital drawing, etc.
In this course you will:
• Complete two-dimensional and three dimensional artworks, such as drawings, paintings, prints, and sculptures, to learn the concepts, language, and techniques of the visual arts.
• Develop skills related to and an understanding of the visual arts through a series of assignments on the elements and principles of design, drawing techniques, printmaking methods, color techniques and theory, and sculpture techniques.
• Gain an understanding of the tools and vocabulary used in the visual arts and be able to discuss your work using these art terms.

GRADING PROJECTS: At the end of each major project, the student will be expected to submit a clear photo of their artwork to Google Classroom. This is where the work will be assessed based on a rubric with criteria specific to the assignment and skills being demonstrated. Student's work will be assessed based on MASTERY of the skills, not their participation. Students will also write artist statements and reflect on their work and the entire process (what struggles did they have, how did they overcome those struggles, what did they do to challenge themselves, what was successful about their final product, what could they have done or still do to make it better...etc.).
