Art & Design 2

Art II is a more in-depth study of materials and techniques. There is a greater opportunity for experimentation and expression, though with a greater emphasis on the finished work of art. Student performance will be measured through projects completed both inside and outside of class, as well as through the ability to make informed observations during critiques at a more complex level. Art II will allow students to explore the four content areas of art production, art history, art criticism, and aesthetics at a more proficient level. Students considering pursuing Art and Design 3, and AP 2D Studio Art and Design may begin college portfolio preparation at this level.
