Welcome to Algebra 1 ! I'm so excited to be working with you this school year ! We will be working on 5 units for the first half of the school year. These units will include (1) the building blocks of Algebra, (2) functions, (3) exponents, (4) polynomials, and (5) quadratic functions and their algebra. We will be moving at a pace that is going to be comfortable for everyone and there will be days built into the units where we just practice working with what we've learned.
This course is meant to provide students with the opportunity to develop and learn foundational skills needed to create artwork. We will explore the Elements of Art including the Principle of Designs. The Elements of Art included Line, Shape, Color, Value, Form, Texture, Space. Principle of Design included Balance, Contrast, Emphasis, Movement, Pattern, Rhythm and Unity. These are important when creating your own artwork. A person cannot create a work of art without utilizing at least a few of the Elements of Art and Principle of Design. Knowing this key component enables us to describe artwork, artistic development and artistic purpose. We as artists must understand and analyze what is going on in a particular work of art. Also, we must understand what the artist is trying to convey throughout the work. This course was created to help artist and newcomer to the art world, how to piece together common language used in art. While also establish foundational frame works to create and developing artwork.
