Capistrano Valley High – Drawing and Painting

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This course intends to offer a gradual novice to intermediate studio experience in varied traditional and contemporary drawing techniques. This includes experimental study of drawing technique, color, style, media, artist history, critical evaluation, and the recognition of the unique aesthetic approach each individual student possesses. Through studio practice, research, and knowledge gained through class lectures, students will develop their creative abilities, skills, and understanding in both the productive and evaluative aspects of drawing & painting. Students will learn to incorporate the ideals of self-concept and self-discovery into their daily lives, as they refine their abilities to communicate through oral, written, and visual means.
