Visual Art is the skillful presentation of concepts and/or emotions (ideas and feelings) in a form that is structurally (compositionally) pleasing to the senses. - Kenneth M. Lansing
There are no mistakes in art, only creative delays. - Bob Rankin

Ideas and concepts communicated through art are essential for everyone's education. In Art class you will learn to be more creative, innovative, solve problems, make better judgments, and be a more flexible thinker. You will be allowed to express your inner feelings through a medium that has a strong impact on our society and has influenced our history. As in other academic areas, I do not teach Art only to prepare you to become working artists. I do not expect students to enroll in art class only because they have an aptitude or a "gift" for the subject. I feel all students benefit from an education in the arts because you will acquire essential skills that will assist you throughout your life and whatever career path you choose. Your ultimate goal in this class is to try your best at everything you do.
