Thomas Kelly College Preparatory – Studio Drawing and Painting I

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

During this secondary level course students will build on the skills acquired in Art I through more intensive projects in both wet and dry media. The class will examine historic and cultural traditions of these art forms and investigate various materials and techniques. Projects will include figure drawing, self-portraits and still life then progress to both realistic and abstract painting. An emphasis will be placed on student observation, color theory and color mixing as well as an expanded arts vocabulary through regular class critique. A sketchbook is required for developing ideas and composition.
