COURSE OBJECTIVES
The major objective of Art I is to improve drawing skills while employing a wider range of media and techniques. There will be an emphasis on aesthetic knowledge, creative growth, and individual expression through the use of various tools and materials, as well as art history, art appreciation, and art criticism/critique. The basic elements and fundamentals of art such as line, form, shape, color, shading, composition, perspective and craftsmanship will be highly stressed and developed through out the year.

Each semester grade will be an average of art project grades, sketchbooks, test and daily assignments. All incomplete work will be automatically graded as a 60. Students will have many opportunities to make up work as well as earn extra credit. Extra Credit can be earned by bringing in supplies or helping outside of class room hrs, making up late work - to be specified upon request. Everyone will and can pass ART. Failing is not an option.

Students are expected to push the creative envelop, follow instructions, ask questions, respect the classroom (other students and the teacher), do not waste materials, research artists, turn in assignments on time, have a high opinion of your work, display craftsmanship on each project and enjoy expressing yourself through art.
