Students expand on previous knowledge of traditional drawing techniques and continued reinforcement of the element of art: line, tone, form and space. Direct observation is encouraged throughout the development of their work. Still life objects, pictures, and natural elements give students a full range of subject matter to create. Repetition and practice are reinforced to continue to refine drawing skills. An introduction to color with the use of colored pencils and pastels will be introduced toward the end of the year. • Class is taught in an Academy format with individual attention.
