Art 1 is the foundation course for study in the visual arts, and it is required for all Art 2 courses. In Art 1, students will examine both natural and people-made objects, explore art elements (line, value, texture, color, form, and space), and apply art principles (unity, emphasis, balance, variety, movement, and proportion) in designing, developing, and creating original art works. Students will study the art works of contemporary and past artists and that of fellow students to grow in the appreciation of art culture and heritage, and develop visual discrimination and evaluative skills in applying aesthetic judgments.
