Welcome to Honors Art! If you’re looking for a way to challenge your creativity and grow with a community of artists, you are in the right place. This year will be filled with opportunities to be stretched in areas that you are not used to being stretched, which will result in awesome conversations and breakthroughs as creative individuals! This course
will also help you to build a portfolio for enjoyment, college admission, and/or as a launch pad for enrollment
in AP Art. By June, you will have created a body of work that is unique and diverse.

Classroom Dynamics
|
GradingRegular classroom attendance is vital to your success, as well as thorough participation in studio upkeep. You are talented individuals, therefore I do not grade on ability alone. Dedication to your work, willingness to help your peers, participation in critiques, and care for the classroom materials is important components of your overall grade. Your love and care for your work translates into the product that you create. So as we kick off this year, please be prepared to manage your time and take artistic risks! There is a $30 lab fee, payable by check to NSHS required for this class. If this fee is a challenge for you, please see me privately before or after class.

Course OverviewWe will be taking what you’ve learned in the past years about elements of art/principles of design, and going deeper. There should be an increase in seriousness and investment in the work that we accomplish inside and outside the classroom.
This year's theme will be Identity. What are our dreams, fears, desires? Your responses to these questions will be translated into color, line, and form, to create compositions that express who you are. |
