Overview: In Drawing and Painting we will be meeting every other day for the whole year . During this time we will begin most projects by exploring different art movements and the artists who were influential within these movements throughout history. Students will have reading and writing assignments, as well as quizzes for some of our lessons. We will experiment with a variety of art mediums such as colored pencils, markers, paints and pastels. We will learn the fundamentals of drawing and painting focusing on the elements and principles of art as well as color theory and perspective.
