Visual Art with Ms. Lawson

Welcome student artists and parents!

This website will give you an overview of each of my courses, including sample student work and links to my class blogs. If you have any questions, please email me at stephanie.lawson@rcsdk12.org.

Media 2&3 are advanced full-year courses that meet every other day for two periods. Students may take upper level Media courses upon the successful completion of the Foundations Media sequence.

Media 2&3 expand on digital illustration, graphic design, animation, and video concepts introduced in Foundations Media. We generally use the Adobe Creative Suite, but during our remote learning adventure, we will be using equivalent free apps on our Chromebooks. Access to a smartphone or tablet with a camera and the ability to download free apps will be helpful for this course. Please email Ms. Lawson if you are unable to get a computer mouse or something to take photos with.
