Mission For The Class

Students will be introduced to the world of crearive arts and experience 
working with various materials techniques and processes that communicate 
ideas and that will elicit a viewer response to their artwork.
They will be able to communicate ideas and organizational principles through 
their visual creations. This will lead students to explore and understand 
prospective content for their art, then select and use appropriate subjects, 
symbols and ideas to make their art meaningful.
