Our online art class for high school students includes lessons which encourage step-by-step recognition of how to build art by imitating the masters.
One of the first elements of art is line. Line defines shape. Line can show movement. Powerful and complete compositions can be created just using line. You can even shade just using lines.
To begin your lion, make guidelines lightly in pencil for the eyes and nose. Draw two eyes and fill them in with black ink. Leave a little dot of white in the eye. Draw the nose and the mouth. Remember your lion will look different from these. You can do the mane any way you want.
How many animals can you create only using lines?
Gustave Doré was an artist who uses line in his pictures in a very interesting way. Notice his picture “The Creation of Light.” Do you see the way he uses line to show light?
You can use line and create a similar composition. In art, lines coming out from the center are radial lines. The next picture is the famous A Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh. He was a post-Impressionist and painted with heavy brushstrokes.
Study his use of line carefully. You can duplicate this picture and learn a lot about movement in line in art.
One of my students used this style and created the picture below. Line is powerful and important, and the first element in art.
The first fifteen lessons in the Studio Art for Teens, one of our online art classes for high school students should be followed consecutively if your student is new to the study of art, as they cover the basics of line, shape, texture, space, color, form, balance, etc. If your student has studied art previously, they can begin at any lesson, either reviewing the basics in the first fifteen art lessons and then moving on to other lessons, or starting with thematic lessons. Each thematic lesson is self-contained and can be studied in any order, as they incorporate the skills that were studied in lessons one through fifteen.
A minimum of sixteen lessons is required to earn one credit hour of high school art. If your student has studied art previously, the fifteen lessons can include a combination of any of the first fifteen lessons and the thematic lessons. If your homeschool student is new to the study of art, they will need to study the first fifteen lessons before moving on to a thematic lesson of your student’s choice.
This homeschool art class for teens includes lessons that teach the elements and principles of art step by step, look at masterworks of art that show the technique in media, and present projects that reinforce how to perform the different techniques and styles of the masters. Students study the different time periods in art by looking at different artists who painted in that period. For example, in the first element of art, which is the line, students study master artists Gustave Doré and Vincent Van Gogh. Next students complete projects that reinforce the power of the line in art.
There is also a student showcase for this course, and student art is incorporated into some of the lessons.
In our studio art class for teens, a minimum of sixteen lessons completed, including the lessons that combine literature and art equals one credit hour of high school art.
