What do we do?
1. Making art: In this course, you will be introduced to a wide variety of art making techniques and mediums. Many assignments will be tailored to allow you to explore your interests though art.
2. Talking about art: In class we will discuss artwork, current and historic. We will also critique or talk about, your finished work.
3. Writing about art: Several times over the year you will be asked to write about your work and the work of others. This writing could take the form of poetry, story, a persuasive piece, or an artist statement. Writing is meant to ENHANCE the art making experience and will never be used as "busy work" or punishment.
