In this course, students further develop and fine tune their skills and knowledge in visual arts. In studio, students explore a range of activities in the disciplines of drawing, painting and sculpture and are introduced to mixed media and oil painting. Design concepts such as linear perspective and figure drawing are further applied and extended to improve artworks and are enhanced through Art History. Major artists from the Renaissance to Baroque era such as Leonardo DaVinci, Michelangelo, Albrecht Durer, Vemeer and Rubens are studied to broaden student vocabulary and introduce them to both traditional and contemporary concepts which influence their own studio work.
