West Preparatory Institute J-SHS – Drawing II

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This one-year course is designed to expand knowledge and skill through an in-depth study of tools, techniques, media and subject matter, and is a continuation of Drawing I. Students extend the study of art appreciation and participate in self and group critiques while interpreting, defending, and judging art. Problem solving, creativity, and originality are expected in planning, art making, and reflection. Specific drawing styles and significant artists who have used drawing throughout history are emphasized. The connection of drawing to other visual arts disciplines and to disciplines outside of the arts will be expanded. Instructional practices incorporate integration of diversity awareness including appreciation for all cultures and their important contribution to our society. The appropriate use of technology is an integral part of this course. This course fulfils one of the elective credits required for high school graduation.
