Welcome to Visual Arts! I hope you all really enjoy your experience in art class this year and that you'll continue to take art classes in the future. If you are willing to learn new things and improve your personal ability, you will be successful, no matter how much talent you have.
Please take a look through the class syllabus so you'll know what we'll be working on this year. Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you have. I'm available to help you by appointment after school every Wednesday from 3:50 until 4:20, and by appointment every Wednesday morning from 7:50 until 8:30.
We will begin the year by discussing the meaning and terms of art. Please, feel free to review the "What is Art" PowerPoint presentation file below. We will have a quiz over this information within the first 5 days of school.
