Course Description

High School Art focuses on effectively learning and using art tools and materials to create works of art.  Students will learn about famous artists and their works of art.  After we have learned about an artist, we will use the same style or technique as that artist to create our own piece of art.  We will learn basic shading and drawing techniques the first semester.  We will also learn basic painting techniques.  The second semester we will focus on more advanced mediums, such as charcoal and acrylics.  Students will use their art vocabulary to be able to effectively communicate thoughts and meaning behind art pieces.
