Creative Crafts is a one-year foundation course for students. The crafts course offers a wide variety of art experiences learned for the most part through participation. This course gives the student a broad base introduction to art. The Elements of Art and the Principles of Design are examined in this course as students complete projects in two and three dimensions. Some of the materials include printmaking, plaster, clay, weaving, paper making, jewelry design and batiking. Students who enjoy hands on activities may enjoy this course and will gain an appreciation of crafts as an area of art. Students are required to develop a portfolio. Students may either take Creative Crafts or Studio in Art but not both since they are parallel courses in Art.  This course can be used to fulfill the art requirement.
