Art:

In art class we develop not only skills and techniques to create art, but embrace each students' individual creativity and imagination as well. In the art studio we use a variety of media and techniques including: colored pencil, crayon, oil and chalk pastels, paint, watercolor, resist techniques, collage, printmaking, and more! Students will develop art vocabulary and learn how they can apply art to future jobs. We create a safe and positive environment for the students to show their individuality. For any questions regarding art classes please contact Amanda Levermann or email at amanda.levermann@fortbendisd.com.
