Art 1 is a foundation class that will give students a broad understanding of the elements and principles of design along with how to apply them to their artwork. The course focuses on learning essential skills and techniques needed to further artistic expression. Students will explore various mediums, create multiple pieces of artwork, and work on improving their craftsmanship throughout the year.
This course is intended to further students’ exploration of the elements and principles of design. The class focus will be on purposeful decision making to create art in various mediums to serve different purposes. Students will build upon previous knowledge while working on drawing, two-dimensional design, and three-dimensional design.
The arts allow us to discover who we are as an artist both technically and conceptually. Every aspect of our lives has been influenced by a creative idea, design, imagination, experiment, and creation. In this class we will explore the importance the visual arts plays in our lives, how to discuss art and artists, and how we can show our personal ideas and views through the task of creative art making.
Courses must be taken in sequential order; students must have completed Art 3 to enroll in AP Studio.
