ART DEPARTMENT

  This course is designed to introduce students to the basic skills, techniques and concepts in the visual arts. Art I is divided into several related areas of study that include drawing, color, principles of design and elements of design.  Emphasis is placed on introducing students to these areas and on the processes that are important for growth in the visual arts.  An effort is also made to expand that student's perceptual skills and their awareness of the creative process.
