Billy George: Art 2: Drawing and Painting 

ART II: STUDIO PAINTING & DRAWING - VA003 (ART2DRAW)

Credit: 1
Grade: 10-12
Prerequisite: Art I: Foundations of Art with Emphasis on Painting and Drawing
Note: Materials fee $31.00

This course is designed for the motivated art student who has successfully completed both semesters of Art I. It builds upon the basic skills and techniques taught and mastered in this beginning course. Students will be encouraged to work from observation and will be introduced to advanced colored pencil, painting, printmaking and mixed media techniques. The creative process will be stressed through the use of a developmental sketchbook which will house students’ preliminary sketches, media experimentation, art historical inspiration, etc. Major projects are designed to be conceptual/open-ended in nature, encouraging students to make decisions and take risks. The emphasis is on art elements and principles as well as on creative visual thinking and problem-solving. This course offers not only hands-on production but the study of art history and the process of critical analysis in reference to viewing professional and student artwork. Students will be expected to develop work for exhibition and/or competition.
