Art I allows the student the opportunity to learn how to work with a large variety of materials. The first semester of Art I will introduce the student to drawing and color study using the elements and principles of design.  Drawing will consist of sequential learning steps with emphasis on developing shading skills.  Color studies will include but not be restricted to using waterbase paint. The second semester, which builds on first semester skills, will include the study of painting, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, and fibers (optional).  Printmaking will involve relief printing; sculpture will include additive construction; ceramics will consist of hand building methods of pinch, coil, and slab; fibers might consist of basic weaving or other techniques. Computer manipulated works are incorporated into the curriculum. The approximate student supply cost is $35.00.
