Course Information:

This is a year long course that requires selection of both semesters: S1 and S2. Potential college credit. This course is geared towards students interested in pursuing the rigor of AP Studio Art and/or those who want to pursue a career in a related field. This course emphasizes making art as an ongoing process that involves the student in informed and critical decision making using the Elements of Art and the Principles of Design. Design involves purposeful decision making about how to use the elements and principles of art in an integrative way. The second half of the course allows students to determine their own work based on a specific focus of their choosing. Student work in this course may include traditional as well as experimental approaches to 2D Design. Students may choose to explore other 2-dimensional mediums such as digital photography, graphic design, drawing, painting, printmaking, and mixed media. Students will have the option of submitting portfolio work for review by the College Board for potential college credit. If the student chooses not to submit a portfolio they will still receive advanced credit. No matter the medium, students will strive to show mastery of quality, design in concept, composition, and execution.
