Introduction to Art (9-12)

This class is designed for the student interested in learning more about art prior to graduation, but who was unable to take Drawing. Through lecture, classroom exercises, and projects students will be introduced to the visual elements and principles of design. Students will learn about the four disciplines of art; aesthetics, art history, art criticism, and art production. All students must have either this course or introduction or Drawing prior to any other art class.

Line, texture and optical illusions

Students are introduced to the concept of abstraction. In this assignment, they are asked to gradually abstract an image in stages, from only slightly stylized, to almost non-objective.


High school students are sometimes re-introduced to concepts from middle school, but are expected to produce a high caliber work.




Since Introduction to Art is a survey class, students have an opportunity to be exposed to clay too.
