Art Fundamentals

Art Fundamentals is the beginning course for all students who want to pursue an interest or future career in visual arts.  Students will create original artwork in realistic, abstract, and nonobjective styles.  Inspired by observation and imagination, they will express themselves through the themes still life, landscape, and portrait.  They will learn about and use drawing, painting, sculpture, and mixed media techniques to create two- and three-dimensional artworks.  Students will analyze and critique artworks, discuss aesthetic issues, and understand how art is related to history and culture.
