Art 1: 

As an entry level class, high school Art 1 provides an introduction to art through a multimedia experience. Students will learn and apply the elements and principles of art & design to produce creative projects that reflect their understanding of these concepts. Students will also be challenged to think independently, guiding their own learning, through a problem-solving approach.

Art 1 students will experience producing two & three-dimensional works. The course is structured around project-based major assignments, accompanied by supporting weekly minor assignments. Students will practice organizational strategies, collaborative skills, written and oral communication skills, ideation, reflection, & conceptual understanding by utilizing sketchbooks and other activities. Many of the strategies employed in these courses are designed to support life skills and core subject areas.

Students will averagely complete one major assignment every two weeks, in class. Each major assignment will be accompanied by 3-6 minor assignments. Students will earn one Fine Art Carnegie-unit for completing Art 1 with a score of 60 or better.
