Students will learn the basic elements of design and apply them in an activity-based classroom experience. It is hoped that art will not only be informative in the study of art skills and techniques, but that it will also give students a chance to succeed in a nonverbal environment. Drawing will be from observation, using a variety of media including pencil, charcoal, scratchboard, markers, paints, and pen and ink. We emphasize a good understanding and use of perspective, proportion, sketching, and contour. Designing logos is a big part of the course.
Students study well-known logos.
Then they pretend to go into business, design a logo, and put the logo on a delivery truck. Click on the Eagle to move to the next course of study description for grade seven.
