Making Good Impressions
A SDH Fine Art Gr 11 (4 credits) Workshop course in Kelowna with Community Mentor, Heather Parlane

This Fine Art/Studio course taps into the vivacious art of the Impressionists, as well as the historical and cultural mood of Paris in the 19th century.
It will enable students to explore a variety of art techniques, and develop design and technical skills while producing significant projects, as well as a body of sketches.
Art Appreciation: Specific work of the Impressionists will be studied, as well as the artists’ lives. Lessons will include an overview of the time, introduction to individual artists and an appreciation for their works, as well as include short slide shows and DVD segments. Discussion will be encouraged each day with reference to students own projects and art techniques.
Elements and principles of design: Light and colour will be the main emphasis as it relates to the movement. Projects will revolve around the experimentation with light and colour theory. Still life and figure drawing will be emphasized. Timeline and map: A timeline, map, as well as historical visual references, will be developed over the duration of the course.
Portfolio/ sketches: As ongoing homework, students will be expected to develop a portfolio of sketches.
Essay: An essay of 500 words on a related topic will be due toward the completion of the course. Students will also be expected to compile a creative visual package of their course work to send to their mentor at SDH.
