Welcome to Drawing and Painting; In this course, students will explore a variety of art media, techniques, and creative topics while developing their artistic skills and confidence. Students will gain hands-on experience with media such as acrylic paint, watercolor, charcoal, oil pastel, ink, and mixed media, including exciting projects featuring collage and other creative processes. By the end of the course, they will leave Mrs. Marino’s Room 123 with a portfolio filled with a collection of meaningful, creative, and wonderful works of art that reflect their growth and accomplishments! 

Advanced Placement Art is  a unique opportunity for students to earn college credit in an Art Studio Drawing Class in their senior year.  . This course challenges students to create a sophisticated and cohesive art portfolio that is submitted to the AP College Board for evaluation.  AP Art students have the creative freedom to develop their own personal artistic theme, concepts, and choice of materials throughout their portfolio.  Students are required to complete prerequisite art courses prior to enrolling in AP Art. These foundational courses provide students with the technical experience, knowledge, and confidence they need to successfully meet the expectations of a college-level AP Art course.
