The covid19 pandemic has brought about huge changes and challenges to education. Despite everything that is going on in the world, it is important to keep students engaged and learning. We will try our very best to keep students happy, healthy, and safe while providing them with the opportunity to excel and discover a great deal of things. I believe that art has the potential to change the world. The purpose of art is to promote creativity, imagination and innovation. We want to inspire students to create a better world and a better future. Art can make us feel good, teach us to appreciate beauty, encourage independent critical thinking and inspire confidence in students. In this course, students will learn about the art from various cultures around the world and from different time periods. They will practice their skills and technical abilities to create works of art of high quality and aesthetic value. Students do not have to be natural born artist to be successful in this class, all it takes for them to try their best, be respectful and be willing to learn. I have very high expectations of my students and am sure that we will be successful and have an amazing new year.

Art1:
This is a survey course in which students will learn about the history of art and different cultures. Students will also learn about the basics of art making and develop some basic artistic skills.
Art2, Art3, Art4 Sculpture:
This is an advanced course in which students are encouraged to experiment in different media and not be afraid to make mistakes. This is a very hands-on course so prepared to be messy. Whether students are doing hybrid learning or distance learning, all students will have the opportunity to work with their hands to create works in 3-dimensions.
