We will discuss art using basic art terms including the elements and principles of art. This class will expand their knowledge of age-appropriate art and art concepts. Students will learn how to hand build and manipulate clay on the throwing wheel, draw, paint, print, sculpt. Students will learn the importance of supporting their peers through both presenting their artwork and positively critiquing the artwork of others.
