Art

While enrolled in Art I, students are expected to develop and express ideas for artwork and compare and contrast the use of artistic elements and principles of design in personal artworks and those of others using vocabulary accurately. Art I students will experiment with design, drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, electronic media, and fibers. Emphasis will be placed on the elements and principles of design. Students will be exposed to a high quality of media and techniques as well as acquire an appreciation for various cultures and styles through studies of historical/cultural aspects of art appreciation. Students will be required to complete 2 hours of outside drawing time per week as well as maintain an art sketchbook/journal and portfolio as a way to evaluate, plan for studio experiences, and to respond to critical analysis.
