“Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.”

Augusta Rodin

 

 

Throughout the year we will be working on a variety of artworks that will incorporate the elements of art while creating an awareness of their principles.  Art history will be incorporated into each lesson through the use of slides, videos, posters, books, and the internet.  Students will work individually as well as in groups to create co-operative works.  Also, disciplines such as math, reading, social studies, and science will be integrated into their artwork.
