Welcome
This is the homepage of Mr. Hoopes, visual fine arts teacher at Canfield High School. CHS offers a variety of visual art classes including: Art 1, Art 2, Advanced Art, 3-D Design Ceramics, Advanced Painting, CCP: Foundations Drawing, CCP 2-D Design, AP Studio Art: Drawing, AP Studio Art: 2-D Design, Computer Graphics and Yearbook Design.
Upon graduation, some of our students go on to pursue careers in the arts. Most of our students however, are led by their passions and talents into other fields. My goal is to have my students leave the program with a set of skills that enable them to visually communicate their thoughts and ideas. I strive to help all of my students gain a greater appreciation for the creative process. In my classes I want them to use that process to conceive of, design and execute a sophisticated vision that either communicates an idea or elicits a profound response from their intended audience. This ability to articulate a complex vision in a way that makes one's own thoughts clear, or at least engaging to others, is a skill that translates into any field.
