2-D Foundations (51211 512112)

(Grades 10, 11, 12)

Prerequisite:  Fundamentals of Art and Design

This course will offer students an opportunity to use a variety of media through the study and exploration of contemporary and historical art and practices by building aesthetic judgement and developing personal vision. Abstract and representational topics will be explored through diverse processes within a variety of subject matter.

Honors (512121, 512122)

(Grades 10, 11, 12)

Prerequisite:  Fundamentals of Art and Design

The framework for this course will be similar to that of 2-D Foundations but with increased expectations in terms of: development of technique, craftsmanship and intrinsic motivation as students work towards more sophisticated concepts and techniques.

Advanced 2-D Design (512211, 512212)

(Grades 11, 12)

Prerequisite:   Fundamentals of Art and Design, 2-D Foundations

This course offers students the opportunity to expand upon the basic techniques developed in 2-D Foundations by enhancing their skills through the production of more sophisticated forms.
