ART II
Introduction to advanced mediums & Techniques in art
For students in grades 10-12 who have completed the ART I Pre-REquisite
This course is designed to build on concepts and processes learned in Art I. Students explore the major genres in art: abstraction, landscape, still life, and the human figure. Students will be encouraged to integrate common objects and viewpoints by looking at and creating art in an individual way. Students, in turn, will express their own themes in their visual projects and will write explanatory/analytical essays regarding their work. Students further explore the relationship between form and function in applied media such as drawing, painting, silk screening, and ceramics.
Art II is designed to incorporate group participation, with critiques and brainstorming. Students will look at artists’ work past and present as a launching pad for inspiration.
Materials used to explore these themes and subjects include batik, watercolor, oil paint, a wide variety of drawing materials, clay (hand built and wheel-thrown) and other sculpture materials, silk-screening, and digital media (digital camera, scanner, Adobe Photoshop, computer animation). Regular studio homework and sketchbook assignments are part of the course.
OBJECTIVE: Students will develop skills and confidence as artistic thinkers by transforming ideas- as responses to art projects, collaborative efforts, art assignments, and art problems -into unique, personal works of art.
