青少年藝術學校，家庭學校藝術課 - 藝術的元素

This class is perfect for middle school or high school learners at the beginner level of art, ideal for those who would enroll in Art 1. 
In this semester length class learners will be introduced to the elements of art, and build on skills that will will develop with each lesson.   In this class we will focus heavily on a variety drawing skills such as perspective, shading, and lighting, relying mostly on graphite pencils and pen and ink for our art work.  Though when we discuss the element of color, we will use colored pencils and markers.

The elements of art are both fun and useful to artists.  They are: ​line, shape, form, space, texture, value and color. Knowing these elements will allows artists to analyze, appreciate, write and talk about art.  Learning about the elements of art and how to use them, will help learners become better artist as they create. 

Each week we will discuss a different element of art, have a brief warm up excercise and then begin a large art piece.  Learners will be encouraged to work on their larger piece throughout the week and present it the followin class session.  

Learners will be able to see me working at my own art, so they may follow my exaple as I explain the process of each technique. Each learner will develop a beautiful portfolio of their work at the end of the semester.
