Information About My Classes

 Students start with a basic Introduction to Art class in which we learn a little bit about art history and appreciation (What is the artist’s role in society? What is Art? What are things that influence artists? etc.) through lecture, reading and class discussion. We also do hands-on projects to reinforce the concepts we discuss. If students want a more in-depth study of the art concepts, they can enroll in either

2-dimensional Art I, II, & III (drawing, painting, printmaking); or 3-dimensional Art I, II, & III (sculpture, ceramics, jewelry).

As a senior, students can enroll in Independent Study in Art, in which they concentrate on a particular theme, medium, or style of art. I recommend it for students who think they will be taking art courses in college.

Assignments and Projects—I’ll be adding to this list as we progress through the semester so that students and parents can see what the current assignments are. (If I don’t get them added here, the current ones will be listed on my Lesson Plan Page, and students have a list posted in the classroom of all projects and other work assigned.)
