Welcome to Art

WELCOME  TO  THE  ART  ROOM

Every class comes to the art room once a week for 45 minutes.  In art class we study the elements and principles of art such as:

line, shape, color, value, form, texture, space, balance, contrast, movement, rythmn, patterns, variety, and unity.

Students learn to use all kinds of different mediums:
crayons, markers, colored pencils, chalks, watercolors,
tempera paints, oil pastels, salt dough, and others.

Every grade studies three different famous artists and we do a project that is related to that artist.

I teach drawing skills to all grades but not all our projects are  realistic. Sometimes we emphasize realism and sometimes abstract design.

I believe all students are creative and artistic. I hope to develop that creativity and talent.
