Art w/Science - G1-3Students have the opportunity to combine Art with Science as a multisensory approach to learning science and as a means for integrating schoolwork while enjoying art. Students can also take this class as an Art-only elective. The art projects completed in class will reflect and enrich the weekly science lessons. Throughout the course, students will compile an art syllabus with instructional inserts and worksheets that explain and illustrate the elements of art being implemented with each project, such as shape, form, line, color, edges, space, & texture, and more. Young artists will enjoy a variety of art mediums which may include colored pencil, watercolor crayons, and oil pastels. The weekly science homework will include reading assignments from G1-3 AIG Adventures on Planet Earth. Learning and enjoying art throughout childhood can help improve motor skills and visual learning, and can also benefit children in their overall academic performance and innovation. Parents and children are pleasantly surprised to see what little hands can produce with encouragement and instruction. The Art w/Science courses can be repeated multiple years as various science texts and art lessons rotate from year to year.

Art - Drawing - G6-12These two courses prepare high school students for a college art-related course, and are adaptable for 6th - 8th grade students who are interested in developing their artistic talents. Students will practice a variety of different art techniques designed to build a strong artistic foundation in art theory, art appreciation, and how to apply the fundamental elements of art through in class projects and weekly handouts. No prior art experience is required for Drawing. While Watercolor is designed for both beginner and intermediate artists, prior art exposure or natural aptitude is helpful for students who want to take Watercolor, which applies color theory to elements previously taught in Drawing. Note that both classes can be repeated multiple times. Course work and projects will be adjusted for returning students according to their artistic skills.
Drawing Students will learn the elements of art such as form, line, shape, space, and texture. Other principles such as proportion, depth, perspective, and composition will also be studied. Lessons will provide the basis for art theory and drawing technique presented in the form of weekly handouts. Class instruction will guide students in applying these new skills for specific drawing projects. Students will use a range of drawing mediums including pencil, charcoal, colored pencil, and pastels in their projects.
