Elements of Art is a foundational art course that introduces students to the building blocks of visual art: line, shape, form, color, value, texture, and space. Each unit focuses on one element at a time, beginning with guided discussions and simple drawings alongside examples from well-known works of art. Students will explore how artists use each element to communicate ideas, feelings, and meaning.

After practicing each element through focused exercises, students will apply their learning by creating an original artwork. For each element, students may choose from one to three project options, allowing for personal interest, creativity, and individual learning styles. The course emphasizes understanding, experimentation, and thoughtful decision-making rather than technical perfection.

This class is ideal for artists of any skill level who want to build strong visual foundations, grow creative confidence, and develop skills they can use in future art courses.

Students can enroll in one or both semesters. Each semester presents new material, but first semester is not a requirement to enroll in second semester.
