      During your semester in Visual Art, you will explore, collaborate, plan, create, reflect, revise, and present. I will guide you on your artistic journey to create art that is meaningful to you. You will work through a variety of units designed to teach you to think and work like an artist making choices in drawing, painting, collage, weaving, sculpting, and more.  You will work independently choosing an art medium that works best for your creative vision. You will use technology to create art and to share your creative process.
