Art 1 & 2- Introductory

Mrs. Klibansky’s Night Back is on Tuesday-

Art class for beginners periods D, E, F, and G.

Welcome to Art. I am very pleased you signed up for this course!

We will work in as many art media as possible such as paint, charcoal, clay, plaster, cut paper, ink, pencil and more.

You will also learn a great deal about yourself, sense of place and make important connections to other subjects, as well as participate in our student

art show in the Spring.  Sign up if you have never taken art and would like to expand your mind and talents!

Visual Art Class is for many people. You do not need to be “great at drawing,” just willing to keep an open mind. In Art you will think outside the box and tap into the right side of  your brain to express yourself using artistic media. We will begin the semester (1st or 3rd Quarter) with a review of the Art Elements and Principles of Design:

In Art class you will also learn to understand the art and styles of master artists through the ages of time as well as today’s modern artists.  Below is just one example of a style you will  explore.
 
CUBISM- This is a form of Abstract Art that LCHS students are studying. Cubism was first developed by Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso around 1905. Its origin begins with French artist Cezanne (1890′s) He was a true, abstract art visionary: he saw and painted forms from all angles on one flat surface. Cezanne saw painting as an exploration of the subject, not just a mere ”replica.”  Since photography was just invented around that time in the late 1800′s, the artist sought originality and making Art for the sake of Art.
