Wood I

Satisfies the practical art requirement for graduation.

Students will build their first project using woodworking hand tools. Students will learn basic woodworking processes and how to use the hand tools safely and efficiently. Students will also learn how to use portable and stationary machines safely and efficiently. To accomplish this, students will build projects to take home. Emphasis will be placed on safety, craftsmanship, planning, design and work ethic. Students will demonstrate the ability to measure, read plans and build their last project using machine woodworking tools. This is a non-traditional classroom environment, best for mature students that can work independently or in small groups and possess self-control.
