About the Class: In art class, Mrs. Adams gives her students a wide range of experiences with as many different materials as possible. The goal is to learn the techniques of all the media an art class has to offer while focusing on the principles of design. Making your artwork look good means following these principles: Balance, contrast, and repetition. Some of the many activities include calligraphy, the color wheel, painting with tempera, watercolors and acrylics, drawing, stitchery, printmaking, using oil pastels and chalk, clay, paper mache, and wire sculpture.
