Students expand their ability to express and build their foundational skills and apply them in meaningful and creative ways. Art students develop ideas and themes in original works of visual art and hands on activities. Topics covered include: color schemes, elements and principles of art, ancient art history periods and movements, forms and depth in art, vocabulary as well as how to use tools, materials, and techniques of various 2D and 3D media to make intentional choices in original art.
The lessons will introduce master artists and as students gain knowledge and skills, they gain in their ability to apply the knowledge to their widening personal worlds. The problem-solving activities inherent in art making help students develop cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills.
