This course is a comprehensive, in-depth study of the fundamentals of the arts. Students will develop observational and drawing skills through the use of a variety of media and subject matter. We will be covering a range of techniques adaptable to any student level, using various media including pencil, ink, charcoal, pastel, watercolors, paint, collage and printmaking. Students will explore their imagination and creativity through the investigation of themselves in self-reflections and use the basic concepts of art as knowledge to develop their ideas. Students will create multiple projects that reflect the arts as a part of their lives, viewing art in perspectives and problem solving through expression to create art as a lifelong skill. This hands-on studio class involves group and individual instruction to encourage multiple ideas and creativity.
