Successful completion of Foundations of Art is a prerequisite for this course. The fundamentals of representing accurate details, people, space and form on a two dimensional surface will be covered. An emphasis is placed on developing artistic behaviors. Students will learn how to experiment with materials with openness and inventiveness; develop their drawing skills and techniques through purposeful practice; and develop original and personally relevant concepts. The execution of their artwork should reflect the depth and breadth of these preparations. This course serves as a prerequisite for Advanced Studio Art. This half year course is recommended to any art student intending to consider further study in the Visual Arts.
