Art 1 is an exploratory introduction into the visual arts. We will draw, paint, sculpt, print, experiment, and explore different materials and techniques to find the tools that fit our personal needs. We will communicate personal and global ideas using art as our language. We will practice our critical thinking skills by handling real-world problems in creative ways. We will glimpse at art history to help us understand the context in which art is made and how we can use art to affect our own circumstances. We will develop our transferable skills to help us appreciate the interdisciplinary skills and life applications of visual Arts. We will create a reciprocal environment to give and receive feedback that will help us become better artists and students.
Most importantly, we're going to have both fun and terrible moments because art imitates life. It is my job as your Art teacher to provide you with the creative and practical skills to create a better future. Accepting these skills is in your hands.
