More About This Course
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 lessons that follow the topic “Owls in Art and Literature.” Beginning here, each 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 lessons that combine literature and art. If your homeschool student is new to the study of art, they will need to study the first fifteen lessons before moving on to any of the lessons combining literature and art.
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. In this course, 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 Dore and Vincent Van Gogh. Next students complete projects that reinforce the power of the line in art. If students haven’t already, they will want to review some of the past lessons, which can be accessed below. These art lessons teach about space, form, value, value in color, Expressionism, visual rhythm, overlapping, and much more, like balance in art. This art class for teens will continue building on the elements and principles of art and techniques and learn from the masters. This art course also showcases student artists each month and incorporates student art into some of the lessons.
