In Introduction to Visual Arts, we will explore the Elements of Art and Principles of Design within the context of drawing, watercolor (pencils and brush), pastels and/or acrylics, drafting, and collage.  Students will be free to explore other medium individually in consultation with me.

Students will have a final exam at the end of the trimester.  This exam covers the elements of art and principles of design.  They will keep daily notes in class, which they may use on the final.
