Art I is a yearlong foundation course designed to expose students to a wide range of art media, styles and techniques. Students do not need to have experience with making art… just lots of energy and a desire to try new things. We will work with pencil, charcoal, oil and chalk pastels, acrylic paints, watercolor, printmaking, pen and ink, collage, mixed media and some sculpture as well. Students will learn and employ the elements of art and principles of design, and also discuss images from artists and art history. Students will also be expected to discuss and evaluate their own art as well as that of their classmates.

In this class we will focus on five themes throughout the year, using a wide range of materials and art media to create fabulous, original art. During the year we will be rotating through these themes. Projects within each theme are subject to change.
