What kind of projects are there?
All art projects are oriented towards building creativity and technical skills. Students who are working on their portfolios will gain knowledge in art techniques that they can continue to develop throughout the year. Many demonstrations will be given and an elaborate still life is set up for drawing and painting. Students are given constructive criticism and advice how to approach each project. Individual exploration and creativity are encouraged. While students may work at their own pace, they are advised to complete the projects. There are many approaches that are model ranging from observational to interpretive. Some examples are: charcoal drawing from the live model (clothed), acrylic painting and color mixing, colored pencil and mixed media techniques, clay and plaster sculpture.
