The wheel course is a short six week introduction to art at Jordan. Students learn step-by-step drawing and painting techniques and are introduced to digital art and ceramic construction. During that time students create a cubistic portfolio cover in the style of Pablo Picasso and complete four to five other projects. Usually, the most popular assignment is the opportunity to make a piece of ceramic pottery that serves as a container. Other projects include a fantasy figure drawing and collage in the style of Marc Chagall, a digital landscape using Procreate Painter, and an Impressionistic pastel drawing modeled after a still life by Paul Cezanne.This last lesson teaches perspective, value, shape, and form and is always a challenge, but one in which the students are surprised in their achievement.
