Sickles High School – Basic Drawing 1

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Students experiment with the media and introductory techniques used to create a variety of two-dimensional (2-D) artworks through the development of skills in drawing. Students practice, sketch, and manipulate the structural elements of art to improve mark making and/or the organizational principles of design in a composition from observation, research, and/or imagination. Through the critique process, students evaluate and respond to their own work and that of their peers. This course incorporates demonstrations/hands-on activities and consumption of art materials. Students must bring drawing materials to class every day. Students are required to have access to a spiral bound sketch book.
