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.
