Art Meets Math

Art and design practice in this project based learning class that will explore art with math and design fundamentals. Class projects will include elements of shape, form, scale, proportion, symmetry and more. And will practice skills of counting, measuring, and calculations. All that said it's heavy on the creative side with both two-dimensional and three-dimensional art and craft projects. Some projects will be assigned by the teacher, and many will be selected by the student from a list of options. Projects may include: sculpting (clay, polymer), making miniature models (cardboard, wood, fabric), sketchbook work in patterns (colored pencil), drawings in facial proportions, jewelry and charms (bead work), pot holders, rope bowls, string art...
