The first course in the senior high art program consists of experimentation with a variety of media and techniques.
Emphasis is placed on the basic principles of good design and their application.
A more professional approach to the preparation and presentation of art projects is taught. Neatness is stressed and the student is taught the proper care of tools and materials. Problems are presented which require the student to pursue the fine arts as well as the applied arts. In this course, there are several projects that are required in order to expose the student to various media in order to produce and accumulate knowledge in the field of art. Some of these areas include painting, sculpture, ceramics, drawing and graphics.
