PLEASE NOTE: An 8th grader in this course should / /ideally have previous art experience of some sort, a course, private training, / /or similar. If they have not, please enroll them in the middle school course.
/ /
/ / As in all courses, students will learn the basic elements / /and principles of art while at the same time experiencing art in a fun and / /tactile manner, but high school art is really about art skill development and / /the study of art as a life skill. In this course we really study art and learn / /to see, to view the world through artistic eyes, to examine closely and broadly / /and apply what we learn. We start with the basic types of drawing and observing / /in basic media of several types and move forward to color and 3D later in the / /year. Students will be expected to actively participate and work to hone their / /God-given skills weekly. This course involves some rated G drawing of the / /clothed human body, basic teaching of portraiture, painting a real painting. At / /the end of this course, students should walk away with not just considerable / /art experience, more freedom in their work, the ability to better grasp of how / /to see and examine the world artistically, but real skills that they can take / /with them with which to enjoy art for a lifetime and/or use applicably in life / /or the workplace.
/ /
/ / This course is ideal for a high school student or an 8thgrade student with some minimal art experience, either in classroom or personal / /or private training, even if it was elementary level.  No experience required, of course, but if you / /have an 8th grader with no experience, please consider taking the / /junior high course first if it fits your student’s schedule.
/ /
/ / Your $70 supply fee covers all the in-class items like giant / /paper and brushes and paint, etc. Every student will need to purchase their own / /sketchbook, a set of good drawing pencils and sharpener, a pink pearl type / /eraser, and a set of colored pencils to practice at home. (May I suggest that / /Ross or beginning of year school sales often have these basic items for a very / /inexpensive price.) We may use these pencils, etc, a bit / /in class as well, but all other items are covered by your class fee.
/ /
/ / Class minimum is 6. Class minimum must be reached by August 10 / /for this class to be considered to make. Please register early and pay your / /first month’s tuition and fees to both hold your spot and to make my planning / /easier.
/ /
/ / The first month’s $60 tuition (Sept) plus $70 supply fee is / /due upon registration and is refundable up until August 14.
/ /
/ / Tuition is due the first day of class each month.  You may pay by check or setting up a monthly / /bank draft or bank issued check set up at beginning of school year works great / /as well (contact me for address, etc). Late fee is $10 for every week the / /payment is late. If you choose to pay via PayPal please add $2 per month. (See / /full PayPal instructions at bottom of this page.) I will not take other forms / /of online payment like Venmo or others.
/ /

/ /

After Oct 1: two months fee due
