Welcome to my online classroom.

Dear Parents:          8-14-2019-2020                                  

Art 1- Periods 
I am looking forward to working with your student this year.  I have several projects scheduled this year that I think will build skills and imagination.   I have designed my courses to help the students  bridge from High School to entry level college courses as they progress from Art 1 to Art 4.  That means that we will have art vocabulary, Art History, hands on projects and class discussions and evaluations.    Art 1 begins with the basics learning the elements and principles of design, lots of media experimentation, imagination building and applying those concepts to a hands on projects.  

Art 2-3-4 Periods:

 The advanced courses of Art will be introduced to increasingly difficult projects where students can experiment, discover, invent and refine techniques in their own original works.  Classes will be working on a continuation of experimenting with various art media, tools, techniques, and are critiqued on a series of criteria specifically designed for each project.  The basic curriculum vocabulary words are followed by Art History and a hands on project that is selected to enrich a deeper understanding of the cultures of the world.  

Study Hall- Periods  

Students will read, study or bring homework to class everyday.  

I follow school policy on work due dates, absences and suspensions.  There is usually no homework unless a student is absent and need to make up assignments.  Please become familiar with the school policies.
