This website provides flash cards, chapter summaries, access to online museums, art standards, digital projects, and much more for the Art classes at Champion using the textbook ArtTalk.

Art class for high school students is loaded with experiences in sketching, painting, pottery, stained glass, sculpting, batiking, and much more. Use of these media provides students with the art terminology. Students work with the elements of art by making booklets, drawings,and taking photos. Study is done as a whole class by going on fieldtrips to local museums, glass shops, art supply stores, and guest speakers. Students are given several opportunities to critique famous, personal, and professional art pieces. They practice their skills and seek to improve throughout the year. Research is an important part of learning about art, so we use technology to incorporate projects and papers on the history of art, styles, techniques, and artists.

General Art provides a glimpse into a vast amount of art techniques including sketching, watercolor, oil paints, sculpture, and other teacher chosen activities. Art history and appreciation are developed through the use of art analysis, application, and fieldtrips. Students learn to replicate styles and techniques used by famous artists while developing their own art skills. This class specializes in teaching beginning art while allowing the advanced artist to add to their portfolio. Beginning artsts learn art vocabulary, use and manipulation of media, and begin developing a portfolio. Advanced students learn to display their art in the community, while developing unique styles of their own. Topics include mixed media, photography, digital technology, and more…
