Hello!
I've mentioned in a previous posts that we study the Elements of Art and the Principles of Design, so I thought I would list them for you.
Elements of Art:
Line, Shape, Color, Value, Form, Texture and Space.
Principles of Design:
Balance, Contrast, Emphasis, Movement, Pattern, Rhythm and Unity.
Don't worry.. I don't expect you to know and remember them all for the first day!
Speaking of the first day.. what can you expect to happen during your first day or so of art class, any of my art classes? One of the first things to occur in my classes, is for me to learn a little something about you, and in turn you will learn something about me. It's important that you understand my expectations for the year from you and for you to know what to expect from me. Having a clear understanding of classroom procedures and policies makes for an educational and fun art class experience. Does that mean that I have an exhaustive list of "do's and don'ts"? No. It means that similar to your trade area safety procedures, we also have some basic art safety rules and classroom routines. Don't worry, everything will be explained in greater detail in class!
But for now....enjoy the rest of your summer, obtain a sketchbook and think about some ideas for art projects that you might like to do. Although I have things planned, I like to incorporate things that you are interested in, if I can, into the curriculum that we have.
See you soon!
