In Art I, the student will be exposed to the basics in Art Education. For example, problems with texture, shape, line, perspective, color, drawing and painting projects (with various media) will be covered. During the year, projects will require the student to show his or her creative ability. The goal is getting the students to use both their minds and motor skills to accomplish a project. 
Prerequisite: Art I Art II contains projects given to the students. Each project is open for the students to individualize their own work. The students will work with the instructor on their projects. Using the instructor as a mentor and resource while working on their project. Some of the areas to be explored are creative three-dimensional problems, painting, clay, sculpture, anatomy, paper mache, art competitions and more.
Prerequisite: Art II The third year of Art is made up of individual projects. Each project will focus on a more definite subject. This allows the student to concentrate on a particular medium in depth. The subject of the assignment will be approached from a personal point of view. A contract is drawn up between the student and the instructor. The contract is meant to be a personal challenge in creativity, motivation and presentation. This is in preparation for what they will experience in any form of post secondary education. A one-person art show and a power point presentation will be part of the requirements for this course. The one-person show will be organized and will be held in the library at the end of the school year. The Power Point presentation will be due the fourth quarter.
