In this class students will learn to express their individuality while also developing foundational skills in a variety of 2-D and 3-D media. Art is not a born gift but a practice, and in this class, all students will be encouraged to push past their idea of what they can and can’t do to realize the countless possibilities of expression in visual art. Along with building skills in observation, critical thinking, aesthetic judgment, and communication, students will learn through play, experimentation, and collaboration. Beyond making, students will also develop their ability to critique, analyze, and question their own artwork, the artwork of their peers, and the visual world around them. From learning how to make a drawing pop off the page or constructing their ideal city, students will get to have fun while learning skills to make their visual ideas come to life.
