Exploring Art Assignments

Within the course of a semester, we will be studying the Elements of Art and Principles of Design through various hands-on projects. The exploration of media includes, but is not limited to, pencil, ink, watercolor, colored pencils, acrylic paint, collage, oil pastel, linocuts, plaster and clay. In addition to creating art, this class will also touch on Art History, as we will be discussing the social, cultural, and historical roles of art across the world. Throughout the semester, we will hold class-wide critiques and write artists’ statements in order to describe, interpret and evaluate the value of our own works and the works of others.
