Course Description:
Visual Art is a two-semester course designed to teach students to apply the elements of art and the principles of design. Students will enjoy using a variety of media, techniques, processes, and tools to create original artwork. These basic concepts are introduced at an introductory level. As students progress through the course, they will develop, expand, and increase their ability to create, critique, reflect, and make connections to art. Students will develop portfolios that reflect their personal growth. Visual Art will satisfy the one-half credit fine arts requirement for graduation.
(This all sounds very serious, but we have a great time and a lot of fun!)
