Fine Arts Overview
Fine Arts is a year long class that covers a multitude of mediums and techniques. Students build conceptual and critical skills that focus on materials, form, content, history, and process. During class we explore drawing, illustration, mixed media/collage, and painting with a focus on the foundations of Art and Design. Along with our creative endeavors we examined artists and artwork from the past and present. By the end of the year, students in Fine Arts have expanded their technical skill knowledge across medias.
