In this 8-week course, students will learn about the 7 elements of art: line, color, value, shape, form, space, and texture. Each week students will learn about one of these elements and look at famous artwork and artists that incorporate these elements. Students will be asked about what they see in the artwork and have a discussion about what they think the topic of the week means and how they would use it in their art. 

Next, students will make art of their own based on the element of that week. Though this is taught mainly though a directed drawing type of teaching style, the students will be encouraged to add anything they want to make their work unique to them. We will draw, paint, and make paper collages using a variety of subjects that include cakes, robots, and crazy hair days.
