"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up." -Picasso
Welcome to the Central Lyon Art Room!
The goal for students taking an Art class is to learn the basics of visual expression and develop their creativity through a variety of concepts and processes. Learning from past masters and current movements, students are encouraged to find their individual voices, tailoring each project to their interests to make a personal statement.
Students have the options to take Drawing, Painting, Ceramics, Sculpture and Digital Art at Central Lyon. Each semester the class is re-taken, students move up a level to more difficult content and more rigorous projects to build upon their previous knowledge and demonstrate their mastery.
Also, Mr. Towne teaches a Concurrent Enrollment class of Drawing Studio, which students can complete credits from NCC.
Please check out the Instagram link in the Quicklinks section to see current completed students works.
