Roger Dale
Introduction to Visual Art
Credit: .5 (1 semester)
Prerequisite: none
Grade Level: 9, 10, 11, 12
This course will be 18 weeks of mind expanding activities. The first nine weeks will cover a variety of different topics related to the Elements of Design, Principals of Composition, and Color Theory. The result will be a conceptual book you will be able to use as your own Creative Design Book. This will become your reference tool to apply the information or areas of a particular design you have created to any other project in Visual Arts classes. You will keep adding creative thoughts and ideas to your Design Book working with the system and steps you have learned. The last nine weeks of this course will be learning how and why your Design Book was developed. Using this book we will explore this information to create your own ideas into pieces of finished art work. Mediums we will be working with are: acrylics to create a painting, inks to create block prints, and ceramics and glazing techniques for pottery and sculpture. All school and studio rules will be observed while participating. This class is limited to 8 - 12 students.
