3 credits
If you have always considered yourself to be “art phobic” but have the desire to use art techniques in your classroom, this course is designed to empower you—and your students. Students will explore art theory as well as hands-on art making. Beginning with an examination of the nature of creativity, the class will evolve into practical, hands-on techniques and concepts that can be put into immediate use. Areas of study will include printmaking, sculpture, cartooning, approachable and achievable drawing techniques, working with charcoal, pastels, watercolors, use of unorthodox materials, etc.
