AICE Art & Design

Drawing 2 is an advanced exploration of principles, styles, and techniques for creating 2-D art.

Students will work with a variety of media to create artworks that they will add to a portfolio. Artistic media used in this course includes:

Pencil
Charcoal
Chalk Pastel
Oil Pastel
Ink

Portfolios & Exhibitions

Students will develop physical and virtual portfolios that will include practice pieces and final project. They will curate their portfolios throughout the course. Students will also have the opportunity to showcase their work at local exhibitions and will be encouraged to enter competitions. Students may also have their work displayed on the school campus, the Lee County Public Education Center, Alliance for the Arts, and/or Arts for ACT Gallery. An online gallery will showcase student artwork through the school website and prints of select works will be available for sale as a part of our fundraising efforts.

Sketchbooks

Art students are expected to keep sketchbooks (not sketchpads) for keeping notes and sketches as well as for recording ideas for projects. Sketchbooks should be kept up to date and should be used both in and outside of school as inspiration for a potential project may come at any time. Sketchbook checks will be included as a part of the Activities grading category.

Sketchbooks should include at lease 50 pages and should be at least 8.5 X 11 inches as students will be attaching loose papers from learning activities, notes, etc. to sketchbook pages. See below for examples.
