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, students critically reflect, evaluate andrespond to artwork.

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. High levels of criticalthinking, research, conceptual thinking, andcreative risk-taking are part of this rigorouscourse.

This course parallels the basic college levelfoundational course in drawing. This rigorouscourse is a guided, independent studyprogram designed for the serious art student.Itaddresses broad interpretations of drawingissues and media (mark-making through avariety of means which may include painting,printmaking, mixed media, etc.). Integrity,ethics, and plagiarism are addressed.Students submit a complete portfoliodemonstrating quality, concentration andbreadth to the College Board for assessmentscoring and consideration for college credit(not based on a written exam).

This course is for students with extensiveexperience in art and is a bridge betweenregular art and college level courses. Studentswork in a self-directed environment to developa portfolio showing a body of their own workthat visually explores a particular artisticconcern, articulated and supported by awritten artist's statement. Artists may work in,but are not limited to, content in drawing,painting, printmaking, mixed media, traditionalphotography, digital photography, and/or newmedia and emerging technologies thatdemonstrate understandingof designprinciples as applied to a 2-dimensionalsurface.

This courseparallels basic college levelfoundational courses intwo-dimensionaldesign. This rigorous course is a guided,independent study program designed for theserious art student. Art is created to showmastery of 2D design through any 2D mediumor process, including, but not limited to graphicdesign, digital imaging, photography, collage,fabric design, weaving, fashiondesign/illustration, painting and printmaking.Integrity, ethics, and plagiarism are addressed.Studentssubmita complete portfolio

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 growthin created individual or group works.

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, paper maché, and plastic withconsideration of the workability, durability, cost,and toxicity of the media used. 3-D artistsexperiment with and manipulatespace-producing devices, includingoverlapping, transparency, interpenetration,vertical and horizontal axis, inclined planes,disproportionate scale, fractional or abstractedrepresentation, and spatial properties of thestructural art elements. Craftsmanship andquality are reflected in the surface andstructural qualities of the completed art forms.Students in the 3-D art studio focus on use ofsafety procedures for process, media, andtechniques. Student artists use an art criticismprocess to evaluate, explain, and measureartistic growth in personal or group works.

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, or

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. Students focus on safetyprocedures for process, media, andtechniques, and participate in art criticismprocesses to evaluate, explain, and measureartistic growth in individual or group works.

Thiscourse furtherexamines contentintroduced in level 1 and investigates spatialproperties of nonobjective, abstractorrepresentational forms, products, or structures.Processes and techniques may include, butare not limited to, wheel-thrown clay, glazeformulation and application.
