More About Studio Art for Teens, One of Our Online Art Classes for High School
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 Art Gallery for this course, and student art is incorporated into some of the lessons.
After you have taken this art course, Visual Manna is offering a mentoring program with optional AP credit. Sharon Jeffus will mentor your art and help you develop a digital portfolio. Go to visualmanna.com or email Sharon at visualmanna@gmail.com.
