Visual Arts – Term 1 - 2 (sold separately)

This paper and pencil course introduces high school students to the foundational elements of visual art while encouraging personal creativity and self-expression. Designed for beginners and developing artists alike, the course focuses on essential skills such as drawing techniques, color theory, shading, and composition.
