This course provides learning opportunities for students beyond those available in the on-level Art I class by extending the state essential knowledge and skills through a three-dimensional lens learning additive and subtractive sculpture, ceramics, and digital work. Students will utilize drawing, painting, sculpture and building techniques through the creation of three-dimensional objects.

The curriculum aligns with guidelines from the College Board and students learn what will be expected of them if they choose to participate in the AP Portfolio courses. Additional supply fees may be associated with this course; however, Plano ISD will take steps to ensure that costs will not prevent access to programs. (See Consumable Supply Fees.) This is a two-semester course in which students must take both semesters, in sequence, to meet the one year fine arts requirement.
