Recommended Prerequisite: The successful completion of Art I
Art 2 & 3 continues art skills learned in Art I with increased expectations regarding developing technique, craftsmanship, and self-efficacy. Scholars will understand the creative process through: visual problem solving, brainstorming, editing, re-working and reflection. The course is designed to provide Scholars with the foundations of artistic expression. Historical and contemporary artists and styles will be incorporated into many projects to provide cultural understanding and context. Assignments are hands-on project-based learning that focuses on the elements and principles of design. Art 2 scholars create artwork using a variety of two-dimensional and three-dimensional techniques and mediums, including but not limited to drawing and colored pencils, oil pastels, 3d construction, and paint. Through in-class writing and critiques, scholars analyze their artwork and the artwork of peers and major artists. Scholars develop a personal portfolio that includes in-class and independent projects.
