Art Studio 2

ACC Art Studio 2 10-12 4.0

This course is designed to build on a foundation of technical skills developed in Art Studio I. Throughout this course students will develop an artistic voice and style that will be used to communicate concepts through their work. Students will explore a wide variety of drawing and painting techniques through many different mediums. Students will learn and implement the artistic process in every project: brainstorming techniques, composition, color studies, medium exploration, peer critique and finalizing artwork. Students will explore and acquire a deepened knowledge of the elements of art and principles of design in order to create artwork that reflects their ideas and original artistic intent. Students will be exposed to a wide range of artists and their practices, both historical and contemporary, to deepen their understanding and appreciation of the art world. Students will build on their knowledge of art criticism by practicing description, analysis, interpretation and judgment of self, peer, and professional artworks. Students in this course are asked to bring a 9X12 sketch book to class and are required to take a written midterm and final exam. Prerequisite: Successful completion of Studio Art 1.
