2-d Art classes
FOUNDATIONS
Learn what it takes to bring out your creative side through a variety of media. Students can expect to generate visual and written responses to Art in History and in the contemporary world. Perfect for 6th grade, open to all.
DRAWING I
In the intro quarter, Drawing I, the 6th, 7th or even 8th grader will learn basic rendering of form, as well as have the chance to explore imaginative and therapeutic drawings and doodles. Here students are familiarized with the Elements and Principles of Design, and will respond to historical and contemporary works of art with emphasis on drawing.
FIBERS
Humans continue to create functional and decorative objects made of thread, yarn, bark, cotton, and other fibrous materials. Come try your hand at new and traditional processes such as papermaking, weaving, dyeing, and stitching projects.
PAINTING I
In the intro quarter, Painting I students will study and practice application of paints, Color theory, and proper studio maintenance. Perfect for 6th, 7th or 8th grade students.
Painting II may be taken anytime after
successfully completing Painting I.
PRINTMAKING
Printmakers know it's all about the process. Students who love color and the magic of layering opaque and transparent colors will love this class. We examine the evolution of this form of mass communication, and produce multiples in a range of print solutions.
DRAWING II
In the follow up to Drawing I, the 7th or 8th grader will work to master several shading techniques as they apply to observational rendering. Media explored includes but is not limited to Charcoal, Graphite, Ink, and Chalks. Two point Linear Perspective, Renaissance Master studies, and sequential images are some highlights at this level.
PORTFOLIO
Eighth grade students who've enjoyed two or more prior (but not concurrent) 2D electives are eligible for this semester long portfolio building class. Assignments are longer, allowing for in-depth development.
PAINTING II
The Painting II student will be challenged to create work demonstrating the change of light on a subject, exploring Still Life and Portraiture.
Students in Painting II must have met the requirements of Painting I .

This is my second year teaching at Ligon!!!
I love observing the wonders of nature.
I am blessed with two boys; one in HS, one starting College this year, and a pretty cool husband.
At home, I love cooking, and eating, of course! Currently, perfect pie crusts are my obsession.
Little known fact, I used to be a welder and machinist, so this is kinda a second career for me!

I had my own business of painting murals for kids rooms. This was my favorite, as he was 10, and knew exactly the scene he wanted.
This piece is actually very driven by a concept inspired by a "SchoolGirls" by Peggy Orenstein. A girls self esteem and educational success is dependant on her support by family, peers and teachers.
