WHAT DO WE LEARN DURING PART ONE?

 

  We start simply. We work our way through the elements of art, and the principles of design, then start with the basics, like LINE. Yup, just line. Drawing can be intimidating, so we will start at the very begining. We then work our way into VALUE and TEXTURE. These elements are extremely important. Master them, and you won't have any problems all year. 

  We will also learn about using different mediums. We will work in pencil, pen, watercolor, charcoal and pastels.
