Welcome to Dundee High School Art Program, an interdisciplinary subject linking visual arts to math, social studies, science and language arts.
Learning how to draw means learning to see. A good art lesson teaches us not only to create but to look at, think about and understand our world through art.
My teaching process will consist of demos on how to use the material and art history relating to the art we discuss. I do not want to teach cookie cutter, cut-and-paste projects. Instead, I will let my students tap into their own inner creativity, with some guidance for the direction they should go in, to produce unique and personal artwork. In more practical terms, my teaching approach will be one of modeling, coaching, and helping students become independent artists and art historians, so they can use the knowledge learned in my class and apply it to their future studies and life.

Each student will be assessed based on their own abilities not measured by how their art pieces compares to others within the class. Every student is an individual and will be treated as such.
I will assess students based on the following criteria for each project:
