Semester Overview
Throughout the semester, students will listen, look, brainstorm, practice, design, develop, solve, create, and communicate through visual art. There will be projects, weekly tasks, and some additional “Studio Assignments”. The art class will explore the different principles and elements of art in such projects as Op-Art Color Theory, Chuck Close Portraits, Van Gogh Vases, Mosaic Collage, Ceramics, Perspective and more. The weekly tasks will include a variety of project sketches or assignments that will count as Academic Practice grades. Projects that last 1-2 weeks will count as Academic Achievement grades. The students are expected to meet basic guidelines and requirements of each assignment while applying strong craftsmanship.
