Osborn High School – Crafts I

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Crafts I helps students apply fundamental processes of artistic expression to the materials and accompanying aesthetics of crafts. Students will explore types of folk art and the materials and ways in which objects have been created for practical, religious, spiritual, and cultural needs of people around the world. These courses survey a wide range of crafts; some possibilities include calligraphy, quilting, silk-screening, cake-decorating, tole-painting, mask-making, knitting, crocheting, paper-making, and so on. These courses also explore aesthetic issues surrounding folk art and artists and engage in critiques of this authentic art form .
