Intro to Art

   Intro to Art assigns students no criteria other than to simply be creative. The class gives students with a basic understanding of art the chance to practice imagination and deeper thinking.

   “Art has really allowed me to express myself freely through my art,” said junior Mark Liu. “I feel like the best thing I’ve learned is finding multiple solutions to one problem. If one thing doesn’t work when I am trying to create something, then I know I can just try something else.”

   Currently, Intro to Art students are creating projects using papier-mȃchié techniques.

   “We put wet paper on whatever shape we want to create, and once it hardens, it solidifies that shape; mine is a balloon,” explained Liu. “I would describe the project and class as fun and therapeutic. In Intro to Art I am really able to relax and wind down.”
