Intro to Art

Intro to Art Course Description:

This will introduce students to the elements and principles of design through experiences with both two and three dimensional materials and techniques. Areas of study include drawing, painting, graphic design, printmaking, and sculpture. Realistic, abstract, and non-objective styles will be explored.

Here is a list of both required and suggested items for the school year:

Required -

• 9”x12” spiral bound sketchbook (8.5”x 11” is ok). Either a drawing or mixed media sketchbook is fine.
• #2 Pencils (wood, not mechanical)
• Erasers (the Pink Pearl type, but doesn’t have to be that brand specifically)
• Glue Sticks
• Highlighters

Suggested (especially if you know you want to continue art/drawing in HS or beyond) -

• Colored pencils (if you want colors that extend the basic rainbow-type colors)
• Tech liner pens (black ink pens with small tip - around 0.5mm)
• Specialty drawing erasers.
• A good quality pencil sharpener

*All items both required and suggested can be found at Walmart, Target, and Michaels.
