Drawing & Sculpture

Drawing and Sculpture Course Overview

Drawing and Sculpture may be chosen as the second year of continuous preparation in an art sequence and should be chosen in tenth grade if this course will be used as part of a five-unit sequence. Students explore a wide range of media and techniques in both two and three dimensions. The skills learned in Studio-in-Art are both reinforced and expanded. Newer, more advanced skills are introduced including wire works, building, and carving. There is an emphasis on observation and visual thinking as conceptual tools. Both representational and nonrepresentational subjects are explored. Art history is learned, from the Baroque period to contemporary art.
