2-D STUDIO ART

This course explores and refines techniques previously learned in elementary art classes. Students create a variety of two-dimensional (2-D) artworks through developing skills in drawing, painting, printmaking, and collage. Students practice, sketch, and manipulate the structural elements of art, use the art criticism process, and investigate artworks from Western and non-western cultures for a deeper understanding and appreciation of the role of art in global culture.

3-D STUDIO ART

Students explore the structural elements of art used when creating 3-D forms. Materials may include clay, wood, plaster, found objects, and paper mâché, with consideration of the workability, durability, cost, and toxicity of the media used. Student artists examine the effects of attention to detail, size, position, overlapping, visual pattern, and texture and focus on safety procedures for process, media, and techniques. Students use an art criticism process to evaluate, explain, and measure artistic growth in personal or group works.
