Imagination does not become great until human beings, given the courage and the strength, use it to create. ~ Maria Montessori
General Art
Students will learn techniques that incorporate mixed media to create both 2-D and 3-D art. Some projects students have created are mixed media pieces using recycled material.
General Art 1 to 4
General Art 1 is designed for the beginning art student who would like to explore and experience a variety of art methods and materials. Basic skills in the following are introduced: drawing and painting, design, ceramics, print making, some craft projects, and art history. Individual projects are assigned after basic skills have been covered.
General Art 2 is for the student who wants to explore and experiment with various art materials rather than specializing in one area. Students will do independent work in their interest areas such as crafts, print making, drawing and painting. Entry in art shows and written reports are requirements of these courses.
