On this site I am posting competencies, projects and occasional lesson plans as well as students art work. Check back often since I am learning new features every week.

This class will be taught twice a week in 45 minute blocks. It will give an overview to the major areas in art. Emphasis will be on the introduction of different techniques and rules used by artists to create. Short hands-on projects will complement the instruction. Students will learn about the elements and principles of design and their importance in creating visually pleasing designs. Methods of instruction will include the showing of art videos, and live demonstrations. The short projects will utilize a variety of media such as pencil, chalk, paint, wire, and more. This class can be combined with Studio Arts and will complement the curriculum.
