ART EXPLORATION: DRAWING & CERAMICS COURSE DESCRIPTION In this course, students will learn the fundamental skills of both drawing and clay. Experience and experimentation with various techniques and materials will be emphasized. The course is aimed at developing independent judgment and creative imagination through an understanding of elements of art and the principles of design. The first term will focus on drawing, including making marks with different materials like charcoal, pencil and oil pastels and how to put an image together so that it looks interesting. Second term, students will learn how to build a work of art in clay that is both aesthetic and functional by using techniques such as pinch, slab and coil. Finished pieces will be glazed and fired. No previous experience is required.
