Intermediate Visual Arts

Course Description: This class is a (Level 2) art course; the prerequisite to this class should have included (Level 1) the foundations of art, the process of using art materials and the history of art. Students revisit this information through study and are given projects that address this previous knowledge along with the development of their own creative voice. 

Project Requirements:  As an Intermediate student you should be confident to think and reason in a visual way. Students will have the support to create successful projects through the introduction of information, history and the creative process. Major projects will also be graded as tests. All art is graded using a rubric based on the individual objectives for each project. Projects will be produced over the course of 3-7 class days. There will be a 3 day grace period for work due but the student will need to work on the project OUTSIDE of class. Lessons will continue as per my curriculum.
