In this course students explore the creative process at an advanced level. Studio work will further develop students knowledge and technical skills in the discipline of drawing, painting, sculpture, and mixed media. They will also explore new media and look to the artworks of Modern masters such as Monet, Rodin, Picasso, Munch, Dali, Pollock, Rothko, etc… to inspire their own artworks. Students will also develop their own artistic style and create two thematically linked artworks in a discipline of their choice. Pop culture and social issues are explored as themes in their own artworks, and the art history of 19th and 20th century modern art will allow them to gain insight into the evolution of artistic styles and genres. The process of preparing a portfolio for entrance into post-secondary programs will also be explored.
