Art is part of The True and The Beautiful. Art surrounds us in grand old museums, online advertising, or even a teenager’s text. My hope in teaching Art is that students develop their unique tastes in Art and realize how historical events, faith, and politics have affected how people choose to express themselves. My classes include lecture sessions where students will listen and learn and practical lessons where students can explore and experiment with various art materials. Students will paint, sketch, sculpt, and much more.
Art shown as examples will be appropriate to the age and grade level of the students.
Student Art Kits, included in the class fee, will ensure all supplies are available when needed.

In this class, we will discover the fantastic world of Art. Through exploring various movements and periods of Art, we will learn how historical events have affected how people have expressed themselves through various art forms. We will encounter a variety of artists throughout history, from Ancient to Post-Modern. Throughout the year, students will create a historical timeline defining periods of Art.
We will discuss Art’s influence on our world and how we are all connected. We will tackle questions like “Can art be good or bad?” and “Who, if anyone, gets to decide that?” Students will become familiar with my motto regarding Art, “You don’t have to like it, but you should consider it!”
Most importantly, students will be encouraged to develop their unique tastes in various artwork.
The class will consist of both lecture and practical classes. In our practical classes, we will learn basic techniques and remember to be inspired by, not duplicate, the great artists. We will create and develop skills in various mediums. We will sketch, paint, sculpt, and most likely get messy!
I will give a test after each topic studied, and students will finish the class with a student project.
We will visit several international museums virtually and make field trips to The Morris Museum of Art in Augusta, GA, and The Columbia Museum of Art in Columbia, SC.
