The term art encompasses a wide range of human activities that involve creative expression, imagination, and technical skill. Art can take various forms, such as painting, sculpture, music, dance, literature, and more. It is often appreciated for its beauty, emotional impact, or conceptual ideas.The definition of art has evolved over time and varies across cultures. In the Western tradition, the classical branches of visual art are painting, sculpture, and architecture1. However, the scope of art extends beyond these traditional forms to include performing arts like theatre and dance, as well as literature, music, film, and other media. The arts are diverse and encompass a wide range of creative activities. Art can be seen as a means of communication and self-expression. It allows artists to convey their thoughts, emotions, beliefs, or ideas through visual or auditory means. Artistic works can evoke different responses from individuals and stimulate their thoughts and feelings.

• Learning Objectives:

  The natural world around us is full of objects shapes, sizes, forms, colours, and lines, firing the impulse of our ancestors to depict them visually. Gradually, the human mind began to transform even thoughts and feelings into fantastic imagery. However, even to paint abstract forms, the journey in a painting and sketching course must begin by observing and representing nature. The Short Term Painting Course is designed to give expression to one’s imagination through visual principles like proportion, symmetry and rhythm. Todevelop one’s drawing skills, courses in colours and sketching will go through various exercises aimed at improving skills to portray nature’s designs on paper. This course is specially designed for those who love to play with colours.

   

   

  When planning curriculum, it can be incredibly helpful to have  “Everything You Need to Design the Perfect Intro to Art Course.”

  However, before we begin with specific forms, it’s important to have an idea of the overarching concepts I want my students to gain in the course as well.

  Before considering what to teach, one need to consider WHOM I am  teaching. To be successful in the art room, students need guidelines, rules, and expectations.

  Many art teachers have a whole list ready to go when students walk into their rooms. But, I take a different approach. I’ve found having my students helping me write the art room rules gives them a sense of ownership. Therefore, each year my rules, or laws as I like to call them, change a bit.

• Course Outline:

   

  A – Act appropriately
  R – Respect everything and everyone
  T – Try…and you can !

  WHAT YOU LEARN

   Contour Line Studies
  I honestly believe the most important thing in art is understanding contour line. When students grasp how to visually describe the edges of an object, they begin to see and draw objects differently

   Color Theory
  Color theory matters! Students need to know what colors work well together and why. One of the best ways to teach color theory is to have an open studioday where students can experiment with a variety of media. Once they create mud, they learn pretty quickly what colors don’t work well together.

  After they experiment, I talk about the color wheel and all that’s involved with color theory. Primary, secondary, complementary, analogous, warm, cool, tints, shades, etc.! The list can feel endless. I recommend spreading these lessons out over time or giving students the opportunity to create their own creative color wheels as seen in this article.

   Direct Observation Studies
  I think it’s important to give students a small still-life project early on in the course. Getting them used to drawing from life helps to prepare them for this thing we call art. 

   Principles of Design
  Once students begin to see the importance of the art elements, it’s time to introduce them to the principles of design. In simple terms, the principles are how you organize the elements.

  In general, people agree on the following 7 principles of design.

  Balance
  Contrast
  Emphasis
  Pattern
  Unity
  Movement
  Rhythm

  . Composition
  Once students have a good grasp of the basics, it’s time to teach the art of composition.

  So there you have it, my  Intro to Art courses . I am anxious to hear your thoughts and what you might add. I think it’s the most important course we teach, so it’s necessary to reflect on what students truly need to take their thinking and their art to the next level.
