Art 2 Painting & Drawing and Sculpture are designed primarily for
the student who successfully completes Art I, who wants to continue
exploring the artistic process, and who will possibly take the AP Studio class in the future. Each time a skill has been learned, students
will be encouraged to make creative applications of those
skills. The students will complete projects which address
more complicated visual concepts of creative problem solving; meanwhile,
they are also being given more freedom to make choices,
refine techniques, and develop individual styles. Projects will be
evaluated and graded with a higher degree of expectation towards skill, concept,
and excellence of presentation. Our
exploration will include historical references in addition to hands
on practice. A variety of materials, techniques and processes will be
used. Some of the techniques, ideas and materials that may be
included are observational drawing, color theory, rendering,
perspective, design, composition, painting, sculpture and clay. Students will also be expected to speak and write with
discrimination using the visual vocabulary they learned in Art I.
Like Art 1, Art 2 emphasizes skills development and development of the creative
thought process. This is an opportunity to express yourself visually while
learning to control art materials and develop art making skills. Our
exploration will include historical references in addition to hands
on practice. A variety of materials, techniques and processes will be
used. Some of the techniques, ideas and materials that may be
included are observational drawing, color theory, rendering,
perspective, design, composition, painting, sculpture and clay.
All students will maintain a sketchbook (for all homework) and a portfolio of completed projects (to monitor progress). Grading is based on timely completion of assignments, creative application of skills on projects.
All students participate in these Essential Experiences:
- Observation and reflection.
- Engaging in the creative process.
- Imaginative thinking through creative problem solving.
- Making choices/decisions to communicate ideas.
- Conceive and create original artwork.
