Intro to Art

Introduction to Art is a beginning level course for the ‘artistically undiscovered’.  This course is perfect for students with little or no previous art background.  Students will be introduced to a variety of techniques as they explore various themes such as how artists communicate through their art.  Some of the projects include camouflage drawing, making pop-up books, and paper mâche. Students will focus on developing an understanding of art principles and will learn how to talk about their own artwork as well as the artwork of others.

Class Fee: $15 payable at the PLHS bookstore

Students will participate daily during in-class studio time demonstrating skill in the following assignments. This class will have approximately 70% summative/ performance grades and 30% formative/ daily production grades. Students will document their work through the use of a digital portfolio set up in class. Not only is it imperative to complete projects on time, but also to be in class to earn a daily studio grade. Deadlines are important. If you know you will be gone on a project due date, please let me know so we can arrange an alternate due date.
