In this class, students will be taught the fundamentals of art, design, and color theory. Students will be challenged to use these tools in their own artwork throughout the class. We will be going over an art prompt each week that follows what we are learning, and students will be instructed to create a piece of their own based on the subject material. 

This class will require a range of art materials, such as acrylic paint, watercolors, and drawing pencils. Students will be exploring different mediums while incorporating the ideas we are going over in class. Weeks one and two will be going over color theory and drawing basics such as line, shape, and value. Week three will delve into composition basics such as rule of thirds, perspective, and vanishing point. As we dive deeper, students will begin exploring different art movements that have influenced design, composition, and creative thinking, such as realism vs. abstract art. Students will be challenged to connect these ideas and find their own meaning of these different forms of art, and how it speaks to them individually. These tools will encourage students to think more creatively, critically, and conceptually about their artwork as a whole. For any students looking to pursue art as a serious hobby or career, these fundamentals are crucial and will benefit them in their artistic endeavors.
