ART 1
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
An introduction to drawing, painting, sculpture, perspective, lettering and design is the basis of this course. These students will incorporate the instruction given with their own creativity to produce works of art in pencil, charcoal, pen and ink, watercolor, clay, acrylics, and oils. Still life and real life drawings will be done. Field trips may be included. 
The Art 1 course is a relaxed, fun course where students are introduced to the fundamentals of art, from the introduction of different mediums and the techniques and styles used to apply them. The course will challenge and inspire students from the novice to the advanced.
Grading:
 | Art Projects - 1/3 of grade
Anywhere from 2 to 4 class projects will be covered per marking period. Your grade will be a representative of your time spent. Directions followed and the solving of the artistic problem. |
| Current Events in Art - 1/3 of grade
Every student will be responsible to find current events in art on the VISUAL ARTS. This may be found in newspapers, magazines or on the internet and printed out. A brief summary will be attached and these will be collected on Mondays. No late articles accepted. |
| Sketchbooks - 1/3 of grade
A 45 minute sketch will also be due on Mondays. It can be realistic of just a doodle. **I'm pretty good at figuring out how much time was spent on this so please put the time in!!! |
Behavior is a big concern in an art class. There are many sharp items and students spend lots of time on their art. So please be careful as to how you treat your fellow students work! We have two rooms and the back room with professional drawing tables is a privilege to work in. Any student taking advantage of this space will be kept in the front room possibly for the remainder of the school year. So please treat me with respect that way we can have a fun productive year! Just refer to the student handbook for the usual problems; cell phones, throwing things, etc. Looking forward to a great year!!!
