The Visual Arts Program is geared to provide learning opportunities for everyone, from the artistically motivated to the person that may never produce art outside the classroom. Together, our goal is to develop skills in the following areas:

~Become more aesthetically sensitive to the natural and human made world.

~ Develop our creative problem solving skills.

~ Find alternative methods for communicating our ideas, thoughts, and feelings.

~ Realize the value of working through and completing a project. ~Develop our individual style and an appreciation for styles that differ from ours.

~ Explore the art of artists both past and present.

~ Develop and improve our art skills.

Assignments:

We will be creating art in the following areas as time allows: Drawing, Collage, Ceramics, Sculpture, Painting, Printmaking, Calligraphy, and Computer Art.

Grading:

Students are often concerned that they will not do well in art because they doubt their artistic skills. Artistic ability is not considered in the grade. Grades are earned based on effort, completion of assignments, neatness, and behavior. A cooperative attitude, willingness to work, and 100% attendance are essential!

I can be reached at the school from 10:15 to 11:30, or after 3:30.  You may leave a voice mail at anytime on extension 501.

Thank you!
