This course provides opportunities to exploremedia and techniques used to create a varietyof two-dimensional (2D) artworks throughdrawing, painting, printmaking, collage, and/ordesign. Students practice, sketch, andmanipulate the basic elements of art andprinciples of design to improve mark-makingand develop purposeful compositions createdfrom observation, research, or imagination.Through critique processes, students learn toreflect, evaluate and respond to artwork.

This course focuses on further development,refinement, and progression of the Art 1content.

This course is designed for students withsignificantexperience in art. Studentsdemonstrate proficiency in the development of2D content in drawing, painting, printmaking,collage, and/or design to create independentor collaborative artwork suitable for inclusion ina portfolio. Students show evidence of qualityin−craftsmanship, composition/presentation,and the development of a personal style/voice.Through focused investigation and critiqueprocesses of techniques and historical/culturalmodels, stude

This course is for students with extensiveexperience in art and is a bridge betweenregular art and college level courses. Studentswork in a self-directed, independentenvironment to develop a portfolio showing abody of their own work with emphasis ondrawing concepts. Artwork shows evidence ofpersonal vision, growth over time, mastery ofskills/techniques, and exploration of aparticular concentration, articulatedandsupported by written artist's statements andcritique analysis.

In this course students explore how theelements of art and principles of designcombine to create art forms, utilitarianproducts, and three dimensional (3D)structures in areas such as green or industrialdesign, sculpture, ceramics and/or buildingarts. Media many include, but are not limited toclay, wood, plaster, found objects, metal/wire,and paper mache'. Students focus on safetyprocedures for process, media, andtechniques, and participate in critiques toevaluate, explain, and measure artistic g

In this course students explore spatialrelationships through the use of non objective,abstract, or representational forms, products,or structures. Instruction may include, but isnot limited to, content in green or industrialdesign, sculpture, ceramics, or building arts.Processes and techniques for substitutioninclude wheel-thrown clay, glaze formulationand application, or extruded, cast, draped,molded, laminated, or soft forms. Media mayinclude, but are not limited to, clay, wood,metal, plaster,

Students communicate a sense of 4-D,motion, and/or time, based on creative use ofspatial relationships and innovative treatmentof space and its components. Instruction mayinclude, but is not limited to, content in greenor industrial design, sculpture, ceramics, orbuilding arts. Students address 4-D, theinter-relatedness of art and context, and mayalso include installation or collaborative works,virtual realities, light as a medium (i.e., natural,artificial, or reflective), or flexible, entered,

This course explores how elements of art andprinciples of design combine to create forms,utilitarian products and/or structures made withceramic/pottery processes. Media mayinclude, but are not limited to, clay and/orplaster. Basic design concepts, craftsmanship,and aesthetic values are explored throughcreative application of hand built, wheel, andsculpture techniques.
