Course Description
|
Students will explore and produce a wide variety of art works in two and three
dimensions in order to create a process portfolio (which will include a
collection of art works, self-evaluations, idea sketches, handouts, notes, and
critiques). They will study many visual art focuses to be selected by the
teacher from among: art history, the elements and principles of design, drawing
and painting, printmaking, sculpture, crafts, commercial design, ceramics, fiber
arts, and jewelry projects. Students will be required to have or purchase a
sketchbook and an art portfolio (in which to collect art works), as well as
other supplies required by the teacher.
In Art II and III, the emphasis will be on applying the art skills learned in
the basic course in a variety of individual projects, as well as learning and
refining more advanced artistic techniques; in addition, students will learn
advanced techniques in aesthetics and art criticism.
