=Welcome to Visual Arts! = My overall goal for my students is that they will come away from the class with a greater appreciation for the arts. In the visual arts class students will develop drawing skills and techniques that they will be able to apply to other areas of learning. There will also be a focus on art history as it relates to the projects we complete. Students will have the chance to become inspired by famous artists from around the world. Students will be held to a high standard when it comes to understanding and producing artwork. Please encourage your child to practice art skills and techniques at home. This can be as simple as observing different color combinations or noticing different visuals in their environment.
