Rhythm Lines: Students use the Principles of Design, Rhythm, Movement and Contrast combined with the Elements of Art, Line, Shape, Form, and Value to create a work of Art.

African Art: Students explore artifacts from Africa and debate Art vs. Function.  Drawing on characteristics of African "Art" students use nature, abstraction, distortion, pattern, and repetition for their own personal design.   The designs are then carved into a printing plate, and used to create a series of prints.  Then the students subtract more from their printing plates by carving out more details and then re-print over their first series.. creating a double print.

Creative Calligraphy:  Students write a word by illustrating the meaning of the word to form each letter.  Colored pencils techniques such as directional marks, shading, layering, burnishing and lifting were used to make the work more successful. 

Perspective:  Students create depth using the rules and measurements of 2 point perspective.
