Visual Art Foundations

Visual Art Foundations is an introductory art course for students to develop and improve basic art skills, knowledge of artists, mediums, techniques, and processes of art. Art history, aesthetics, art criticism, and visual literacy are components that will all be explored. Students considering a career in the Arts, Architecture and Construction, Audio/Video Technology, Communications, Education, Hospitality and Tourism, or a career that requires creative problem solving skills would greatly benefit from this course. 

Successful completion of this course is a prerequisite to Portfolio Prep - 2D Design and Photography, Portfolio Prep - Drawing and Illustration, and AP Art and Design.  Visual Art Foundations is strongly recommended before Computer Imagery and Animation, Visual Arts and Crafts Studio, Sculpture Studio, and Ceramics Studio.
