Studio Art I:
This Studio Art course is a choice-based art practice through which students learn to think like artists. It develops critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity skills. The end goal of the course will be for the students to be able to independently conceive, create, visually/verbally communicate about their artwork, and develop art practice and time management skills to incorporate a successful art workflow. A full range of art processes will be covered to include drawing, painting, design, mixed media, and sculpture. Students will learn a variety of skills and techniques to help further with their art-making practice. The students will be exposed to a variety of local artists, contemporary artists, and artists from the past. They will learn about a variety of art movements and understand their place in the world through an art lens.
Studio Art II:
Studio Art II will be for advanced art students interested in pursuing art further and possibly taking an AP Art Class. The class will build on what was previously learned from Studio Art I. Prerequisite: Studio Art I or permission from the teacher based on a portfolio review.
