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 intermediate 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.

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.
