In addition to developing fundamental and advanced art-making skills, this class encourages students to recognize and appreciate the diversity of artistic expression that exists in the larger world and cultivate it within themselves. Students engage in projects designed to challenge their assumptions and explore other viewpoints. A variety of two-dimensional and three-dimensional art-making tools and materials are provided. This year, students will also focus on goal setting and project planning, which is a skill that will serve them in all areas of life.  Students completing this class with a strong portfolio and a strong grasp of the Elements and Principles of Design, can apply to skip Art 1 at CHS and go directly into Art 2.
