Hi! You wondering what’s involved with Art 401?
This course in for grade ten students and is built around three aspects of the world of art: 1) realistic drawing (drawing what you see), 2 color – theory of color – additive and subtractive color, and 3 form – or sculpturing.
The first two components of the course, drawing and color are based on the books by Betty Edwards. Her first book is titled “Drawing of the Right Side of Your Brian. The second book is Betty Edwards “Color“
The classes will involve some instruction time each day and then putting new drawing principles into art works.
There is also a history component to this course will mostly involves a slide show presentation by each student at the end of the semester.
There will be a $25.00 fee for this course to pay for the consumable materials used during the semester.
Each student is given an excellent sketch book and most art work is done in this sketch book so the student begins to build their own personal portfolio for the future. If students of my previous art course in seven, eight ,and nine have strated a sketch book they will continue from that sketch book.
Most students really enjoy the course and learn much of the world of art and their contribution to it. It’s a course that tapes into the right side of the brain a segment of the mind not entered into very often but once access is made into this realm the experience is very powerful and creative. So if you signed up for this course lets take a journey!
