Art 2012 - Grades (6-12) Complete Course or Art Credit

Teacher:  Mrs. Karen Plas

Time:  Friday 8:30-9:55

Class & Material Cost:  $330

This is a 1½ hour class that gives the student a large variety of hands-on experiences with many different materials and techniques; a well rounded approach to learning about the many facets of art.  Some subjects that may be covered are painting, drawing, advertising art, sculpture, and printmaking.  We will cover the principles of design (line, texture, focal point, proportion, negative and positive shapes, light/shadow patterns, harmony, balance, rhythm, etc.) and color (color wheel, primary, complimentary, mono-chromatic, etc.).  The students will also learn about 3-dimensional art by studying sculpture (clay, wire, found materials, papier-mâché, etc.).  A material fee of $20 is included in the cost of the class. NOTE: We are planning to have a field trip for grades 6-12 to Art Prize sometime in October. Click here to view artwork.
