Introduction to Art

Amanda Cheek, Instructor

*This class counts as a high school fine arts credit and meets all National Arts Standards.

This beginning art class teaches the elements of art and the principles of design. This course is designed as a beginning art class for students wishing to pursue upper-level art courses as well as for those who wish to satisfy their Fine Arts requirements for high school graduation. Students will explore basic art media and techniques, such as drawing, painting, collage, printmaking, sculpture, and more!  

Basic supplies needed:  A good sketchbook, an apron or large t-shirt that you don't mind getting messy, a nice set of regular and colored pencils, and a set of various-sized brushes for painting. (Mrs. Cheek will email families over the summer with links to the recommended supplies.)

A fee of $75 will be required for supplies to be purchased by the teacher.
