Advanced Drawing

Advanced Drawing is a course for highly motivated drawing students.  This course asks students to use the inquiry approach of sustained investigations. 

What is a sustained investigation? In this course students will learn about creating a series of artworks that connect to one another guided by their own ideas and inquiries (i.e. research of materials, process, risk-taking, and experimentation.) The series of artwork created from a student’s ideas is considered a sustained investigation in advanced drawing. 

In this course students will have frequent opportunities for participation in collaborative peer conversations around themes, topics, and ideas for their artwork. The unique support found in the advanced drawing course partners students with their instructor to develop and foster personal understanding of how curiosity leads to original artwork. Students will use the inquiry process to perform ongoing research to discover effective visual responses to their informed ideas. Advanced drawing students will create a series of artworks in preparation for a longer sustained investigation for their portfolio in the AP Drawing course.
