Art 1 is a half year, entry-level art course. This class allows students to develop their artistic skills through the trial of many different projects and mediums. Students will experiment with pencil, charcoal, pastel, colored pencils, cut paper, acrylic paints, watercolors, and clay. From here students have the fundamental skills to go on to Art II or one of the more specific electives such as Drawing & Painting, Ceramics & Sculpture, Photography, or Computer Graphics.
