My curriculum focuses on the elements and principles of design within multiple art movements. I designed the curriculum as an Intro class that encompasses fundamental skills and knowledge in the art world. I think the basis for art education is about learning how to use and apply art vocabulary to develop art skills, as well as learning about art in different time periods and about different artists. I've included many mediums, techniques, and methods so the students can become well-versed in the ample ways of art-making.
