Studio Art II/III

In this advanced class contemporary themes, subject matter and art techniques will form the foundation of art production. Traditional drawing, painting, design, printmaking, sculpture and craft methods and materials will be examined and used in ways relevant to a 21st century aesthetic. Students will explore realistic, abstract and non-objective composition and will learn to create the illusion of depth and form in their original two dimensional art works. In three-dimensional production symbolism, simplification of form and surface texture will be explored. A variety of artists and artistic styles will be considered. Students will present and reflect upon their work via digital portfolios and class critiques.
