A Little Information About this Course:
This course will cover a variety of art practices including fundamental drawing principles, applied through the use of graphite, paint, ink, and various other two-dimensional media. Exploration in the elements and principles of design, composition, and perspective will be covered during the first semester. A comprehensive study in color, color theory, three-dimensional design, and drawing will be covered during the second semester. Art history is covered throughout the year, and the students are required to keep a sketchbook that will be provided to them.

Grading:
30% classwork 60% project 10% quizzes Late Work: Every student works at his/her own pace, but deadlines are a reality and projects must be completed in order to receive full credit. If you are having difficulty keeping up in class you will have to work independently outside of class (before school, after school, study hall, or lunch). If you are sick, an extension will be granted if you or your parent contacts me during your illness to make arrangements to make up the work. Late work will be accepted until a certain date with points deducted for being late. Google classroom code- |
