This is the site where you will find all the information you need to be successful in your intermediate/advanced art class. This is an intermediate level art class where you will get to have a survey of the majority of the main types of media used by artists to create sculptures. Ms. Proffitt runs her studio with a choice- based environment so that you are able to maximize your learning ability by developing your creativity, critical thinking and problem solving skills.

 

What this means for you: You will be shown short demonstrations on how to use materials and how to do different techniques with all the many kinds of media. You will then work through media centers where you are able to explore and apply the techniques and media in order to maximize your own learning. Then, throughout the year, you will be guided through Units of all the various artistic behaviors in order to teach you how to think, act and behave like an artist.

 

Each project that you create, with the guidance of the current unit, you will have the ability to let your creativity flow and create what you are inspired to create using the tools, skills and behaviors you have learned! If you are uncertain of how to use a type of media, you can ask for a personal lesson from your beloved Ms. Proffitt OR you can look it up on the video section of this website OR you can look it up yourself on YouTube. Art class is where you learn how to problem solve. Art class is where you learn how to be creative. Art class is where you learn essential life skills that you may not learn in any other class. It is viewed by some as the connection that brings all other classes together to make sense. How much you learn in this course is up to you! Now, let's go make some ART!
