Recognize any of these artists?

Welcome Back!

I hope everyone had a refreshing summer!
I look forward to being on staff here at Holy Spirit School again. I believe we have a very special school! Being on the lookout for new ways to challenge art students is never far from my mind!

Using the Elements of Design

is like learning to read and write the language of vision.

We become visual poets.

Younger art students focus on hand/eye coordination and correct usage of materials.

All students learn to recognize and use the elements of design. The elements include; line, color, value, shape, texture, form & space.

All middle school art students learn how the elements of design are combined and organized in developing the 7 principles of design. Principles include; balance, movement, rhythm, contrast, emphasis, pattern, & unity. These principles are used to create successful compositions.
Usage of the elements and principles is ongoing.

Art history is interspersed throughout the year at varying levels for the different grades.

Of course creativity is always nurtured and encouraged!
