The objective of art class is to introduce and develop art skills while introducing the elements of art and principles of design. This is achieved by familiarizing students with artist and art history. The goal is to build an appreciation of art, teach skills, encourage confidence and creativity in producing art, and prepare students for continuing art education.
Hands-on activities provide the medium for teaching the elements of; line, shape, color, texture, space and value with the consideration of the age and grade level of each student.
Finished art work is then examined and considered for the student's art portfolio.
