In this middle school art class, students will embark on a journey of artistic exploration and experimentation. Under the guidance of their teacher, they dive into a diverse array of techniques and materials. Each day is a new page; whether it's designing a dynamic layout, collaging found objects into a whimsical composition, or developing a character illustration with expressive linework. The students eagerly fill the pages of their sketchbooks, using them as a canvas to document their creative process, experiment with new ideas, and capture their personal artistic growth. By the end of the year, their sketchbooks have transformed into a vibrant portfolio, showcasing their mastery of various applied arts disciplines and their evolving visual storytelling abilities.
