Welcome to Spectrum Art! This course in as introduction to art and is one trimester long. Students will be introduced to art styles, techniques and terms relating to art. They will demonstrate learning through their art projects, writting and discussions. My goal is to give students the tools they need to express themselves through art. 

Exposure to art education promotes self-directed learning, improves school attendance and sharpens critical and creative skills. Additionally, research has shown that what students learn in the arts may help them to master other subjects, such as reading, math or social studies.

The Importance of Art
