I am so glad to be working with each and every one of my new art students and wonderful faculty! I believe drawing is the basis of most successful works of art. Other media your child will experience this year will be; painting in watercolor, tempera, and acrylic for the older students. Students will create sculpture, ceramic works, printmaking, collage, and mixed media. We will learn the elements and principles of design and how to successfully use them in our work. This quarter, we will be diving into the idea of mixed media as well as some different fall-themed projects.
Throughout the year, your child will learn about the history of artists and artist techniques. It amazes me what students can learn and remember! During the year I will be keep up with most of your child's artwork, because during Parent/Teacher Conferences second semester, one piece of art that every student has created will be featured in the Millersville hallways.
I'm very excited to begin the school year with these wonderful young artists!
Artfully Yours,
Sarah Hopson, Art Teacher
