Art Survey is recommended for students who wish to explore the basics of visual art. Art Survey is taken as a prerequisite before the following art classes: Drawing 1, Painting 1, Graphic Design 1, Ceramics 1, Jewelry and Metals, Sculpture 1, Digital Photography and Film. The emphasis in this class is upon drawing and design, and the skills necessary to create two and three-dimensional art through various media such as paint, graphite, ink, and clay. Students will use Google Classroom to document their artwork and the processes they learned to create their artwork in class. In addition to art production, students will gain an understanding of Art History, Art Criticism, and Aesthetics as they relate to Visual Art. There will be sketchbook assignments, as proficient drawing skills are essential for success.
