Linganore High – Commercial Art

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Prerequisite for Commercial Art 2: Commercial Art 1. Students design and produce a variety of commercial and advertising artworks to create a process portfolio (a collection of finished artworks, self-evaluations, idea sketches, handouts, notes, and critiques). They study advertising art history, the elements and principles of design, critiquing, and aesthetics. Activities include advertising design techniques, typography, illustration techniques, and possible computer graphics applications. In Commercial Art 2, students work on increasingly more individual and independent projects in all phases of commercial art and advertising design production, resulting in a varied and complex collection of art projects to be maintained in the art portfolio.
