Instruction is based on the understanding and use of the elements and principles of design to create finished products that reflect creative problem-solving, visual literacy, and personal expression. Materials include graphite, colored pencil, pen and ink, wood, cardboard, wire, clay, tempera, watercolor, acrylic paint, and more. Along with projects, there will be the introduction of various artists and art movements from cultures around the world to help students understand the history and intention of making art to tell stories, express ideas, and to create beautiful and meaningful artworks.
