Course Overview
Fine Arts 1 is a year long class that covers a multitude of fine art media and techniques. During class we explored drawing/illustration and mixed media/collage 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. Our time in the studio was cut short due to COVID-19, so we did not get to painting and printmaking this year.

Ms. Jaclyn Young
Jaclyn Young is an Ypsilanti based mixed media artist. Her work combines collage, painting, digital, and 3D elements to create artwork inspired by nature, myth, magic, feminism, and the night sky. She looks for the hidden stories asking for a new life in the items we see everyday. Jaclyn is a graduate of Michigan State University with B.A in Interdisciplinary Humanities, emphasis in Studio Art, Zoology, and Theatre.
