Welcome to Art 1!
Course Description: Art I
Grades: 8-12 Credit: 1 unit Art I emphasizes the development of attitudes concerning art. Basic skills and an understanding of techniques with various media are stressed. Students develop concepts of design, which are demonstrated though class assignments. Art I students will develop skills in drawing, painting, printmaking, and 2D mixed media, as well as an awareness of their own capabilities and limitations. Responsibility toward materials, equipment and art is stressed. My hope is that students will gain an understanding of themselves and the world around them through hands-on art making and the study of artists situated in many cultures. My goal is for students to develop an appreciation for good citizenship through mutual respect of peers and their artwork and consistent work ethic through the exploration of ideas through media. Students will learn to set goals and high expectation for themselves and exhibit commitment to tasks, especially through difficult times in their growth. Students will practice formulating new ideas, innovative thinking, team work, and become visually literate, all skills that will contribute to their success in a global economy.
