Our HVCS Art classes focus on teaching the basic elements of art combined with art history. Each year we study 2-3 different famous artists. We study their techniques and the different elements of art we can find in each of their work. For example, we combine a study of Matisse with the element of color. We will focus on his use of color as a fundamental element of art. We've studied Dr. Seuss as a famous illustrator and studied his use of line to create unique characters in his beloved stories. Our students love the opportunity to recreate famous works of art while also stretching their creativity to discover their own artistic style and talents.
