Drawing Beginning

Course Number: V401111

Length: 1 Semester (2 credits)

Prerequisites: None

Grades: 9-12

Students will explore basic drawing techniques through the study of a variety of subject matter, media and materials.  Learning how to draw will involve learning how to see the world in terms of the elements of art: line, shape, value, forma, texture, color, and space.  Students will also be exposed to the principles of design, balance, movement, and contrast which are the framework for creative composition.  All students will be involved in the critique of their own art as well of that of others.
