Teacher Information:

Teacher Information: Students in my courses experience a variety of two and three - dimensional activities that cover basic art and design skills.  Various ideas and processes involved in making art will be examined.  Projects may include, but are not limited to:  drawing, painting, graphic design, textiles, ceramics, sculpture, printmaking and mixed media.  Students will work in a wide assortment of media such as graphite, charcoal, pastel, pen and ink, clay for ceramics, watercolor, oil and acrylic paint.  Historical and cultural issues specific to each project will be explored, as well as critical inquiry and aesthetics.  Art 1 is a prerequisite for advanced level studies.  Students with a possible interest in pursuing an art-related career should take this course as a freshman to allow time for the development of a portfolio during their junior and senior years for college entrance and scholarship competitions.  All students will be responsible for keeping a sketchbook throughout the term of the course.
