Welcome Beginning Art Students
A little about the class.....
This is an introductory art course that examines the visual arts. In the first semester of this year-long course, the major focus is on the elements of art – line, shape, form, color, value, texture, and space. We will also look at how these elements are put together in a composition by learning the principles of design-balance, emphasis, contrast, unity, pattern, rhythm, and movement. This will be the foundation of the second semester; students will explore the ways that well known artists have used these basic building blocks of art. We will explore many artists, styles & media and develop technical & critical skills. Activities include art projects, reading, writing, group activities, videos and quizzes. All activities count toward your grade. Please review the Syllabus and Classroom Procedures below for more information.
