COURSE DESCRIPTION
ART COMPREHENSIVE
The visual arts program provides a sequential program of art education, which builds a foundation for developing the knowledge, skills, and processes for visual literacy and creative expression.
Students study the art and cultures of different times and places, learn processes of visual problem solving and critiquing artwork, work with traditional and non-traditional art media, and express ideas in the production of their own art.
2D STUDIO ART I , II & lll
Students refine techniques used to create a variety of two-dimensional (2-D) artworks through developing skills in drawing, painting, printmaking, and collage. Students manipulate the structural elements of art to promote creative risk-taking in 2-D artwork. Investigation of artworks from Western and non-Western cultures provides a means for students to expand their understanding and appreciation of the role of art in global culture. Student artists use an art criticism process to evaluate, explain, and measure artistic growth in personal or group works. This course incorporates hands-on activities and consumption of art materials.
Skills Studio
Students have small group opportunities to practice technique and familiarize themselves with tools and processes.
