Drawing and Design

As most could guess, Drawing and Design is a class mainly centered around drawing. So, adjustments in this class have been a little less extreme than those of other art classes. At the beginning of the year, students were given the drawing essentials: paper, drawing pencils, an eraser, and an oversized folder to put all of their stylish sketches in. This is all very similar to materials provided to students in a normal year, the folders just travel to and from student homes with more regularity.

When extra supplies are needed, they are simply dropped off in the school vestibule, as with all other school supplies for distance learners. Or, hybrid students are given the option to take extra supplies home with them at the end of any in-person school week.

Teagan Strecker, a sophomore at CFHS, is a current Drawing and Design student. She enjoys the class, her favorite part being “When I finish a project, because I’ve put a lot of effort into it, and am proud of it. I don’t consider myself to be particularly artsy, but I usually surprise myself when I put a bit of effort in.”

While Strecker feels that Drawing and Design is enhanced by the hour and a half long periods because students have more time to work, she still feels that it doesn’t compete with all in-school learning. It is easy to get sidetracked, and students don’t have as much of an opportunity to discuss their artwork with other artists.
