Fundamentals of Art and Design 

Fundamentals of Art and Design (511111, 511112)

(Grades 9, 10, 11,12)

This course offers an exploration of the elements and principles of design by relating historical and contemporary art to structurally designed hands-on projects through experiences in 2D and 3D media. Key ideas and concepts using a variety of techniques and processes will be addressed with attention given to composition and aesthetics. 

Honors (510221 510222)

(Grades 9, 10, 11,12)

The framework for this course will be similar to that of Fundamentals of Art and Design but with increased expectations in terms of: development of technique, craftsmanship, and encouragement to take informed risks.  The exploration of materials, ideas, and processes will allow students to seek a personal form of expression and artistic voice as they work towards more sophisticated concepts and aesthetic judgement.
