Free Choice Painting 
Students choose 3 art movements then discover artwork created and techniques used by artists who worked in those movements. Students create design for painting based on movements and artists learned about. Students choose painting techniques and painting medium. Students may interpret and modify information from art movements, but must be able to explain importance. Students will review color theory and color schemes. Students keep own work stations and supplies cleaned and stored properly.
