CLASS DESCRIPTION
Art Survey is the application and study of the basic elements and principles of design through a diversity of artistic genres.
During the first semester, students will focus on photography techniques, digital imagery, and computer graphic design applications. Next, we will investigate a variety of textile art forms. Students will work on projects involving leather-crafting, macramé, silk painting, and rug-making. Students will finish the semester by creating works of art using the techniques of Scherenschnitte (German paper cutting) and Quilling.
During the second semester, students will learn how to use calligraphy in artistic ways, how to create sculptures out of metal and clay, and how to paint masterpieces using watercolors, oil paints, and acrylic paints. We will discuss how to comprehend, interpret, and critique works of art constructively. Students also will have the opportunity to learn techniques relating to woodcarving and jewelry making. This class will give the students an opportunity to capture a love for the arts while applying a wide range of artistic skills through creative projects.
Students have the option to enroll for full year OR first semester or second semester.
Completion of this class will earn your student one high school credit in art for full year class option or one-half credit for half year class option.
