Welcome to Academics ......Sophomores and Juniors!!

It's an exciting time in art class, B cycle in Academics begins tomorrow!!

For those of you in my Elements of Art class and Drawing I class, you are going to need to obtain a sketchbook. If you have gotten yours already, great! If not, we have a long 12 day cycle, so try and get one as soon as you can.

Haven't had art class since Middle School and not sure what to expect the first day?
Well, for one, we will go over my class rules, they are pretty straight forward. Respect the materials, respect your own artwork and that of your classmates. Clean up after yourself, learn something new and of course have some fun! After we go over the rules, we will spend some time completing an art game, and then decorating folders.
Every student will be expected to sign an art contract, which you can bring home to show your parents/guardians and then return to me. It's your first homework assignment.

The rest of the cycle we will begin our exploration into the Elements of Art!!


Drawing I students, I have a lot of things planned for our first day. After spending sometime reviewing the rules, or getting to know them if you haven't had me. We will start learning about Shading & Modeling. Shading & Modeling is one of the most important skills you will develop and refine throughout your time in Drawing class. This cycle you will also be introduced to the plastic fruit! While I was in Maine over the summer on vacation, I went into a store that had, well giant plastic fruit. Well not giant really, but about 8 inches tall! I could only buy a couple, one pear and one apple, but I can't wait to show you them!

See you soon!
