Course Description: Students will gain continued knowledge and experience as artists, art critics, and art historians while producing an extensive collection of creative works of art in a variety of two-dimensional media, styles, techniques, and processes. This beginning course will focus on a more highly developed use of the elements and principles of two-dimensional design as a foundation to making, understanding, and appreciating different types of art. Students will be required to create work outside of class time. The units and objectives included in this curriculum meet the Arizona State Standards for Visual Art.

Studio Project Assignments:
This is a studio-based course, meaning the bulk of student class work is based on art production. Student achievement and grades in this class largely depend on the level of quality, completion, and commitment of studio projects. Students are responsible for completing between four to six studio projects per semester depending on time required by the class to complete the various activities. Projects are more involved and challenging than those pursued in the beginning art classes and will frequently require extra time outside of class to complete well.
Additional Assignments:
Sketchbook Preliminary Sketches
Art History Written Reflections
Worksheets Class Critiques
Studio Exercises Quizzes/Reviews

Silhouette Assignment.pptxSilhouette Unit.docBeginner Silhouette Reflection 17-18.docxWelcome!
We begin the year with the Silhouette Zentangle Unit
The goal of this project is to create a silhouette abstraction incorporating three major design principles: color, line and shape. Students will be required to follow specific design guidelines and criteria while creating a completely unique silhouette of their choice. The silhouette, while it may be copied from an already existing shape, must be abstracted into an innovative and original design. This will serve as the first long term art project in beginning 2D Design.
