Art Level 1: Foundations is designed to develop and improve the students’ basic skills in observational drawing, original and imaginative compositions, design, color theory, painting technique and will touch on some 3D representation. It focuses on challenging the imagination, fosters critical thinking, builds reflective skills and develops disciplined effort. Foundations follows the state Art TEKS and offers not only creative expression through hands-on projects but the study and analysis of art history and cultural relevance. The process of making informed judgments and reasoned evaluations in reference to the artwork of self and others is also a crucial component.
There is a $30.00 expendable materials cost for Art 1 students. This covers extra supplies not included in the art budget allotment for each student. This way we can ensure that everyone has the right products without the burden of sending you shopping. Please make checks payable to the Westlake High School Art Department; cash is also accepted. Payment will be made on-line in skyward or to Judith Kilmer in the front office.
