2D Studio:
Drawing, painting, and collage are explored in this two-dimensional course.
Drawing skills are developed through the use of pencil, colored pencil,
metallic pencil, charcoal, oil pastel, and ink. Color theory and painting
techniques are applied with oil pastels, watercolor, and acrylics. Students
are provided the opportunity to paint on different size canvases, and
students work from still life, landscape, photographs, and individual
designs. Observation work is encouraged.
Students study the Impressionism movement and create paintings reflecting
the style of the Impressionists. Students are presented opportunities to
learn about other artists and art movements as well.
From representational to abstract and from basic drawing to the use of mixed
media, students are urged to interpret, explore and create.
Advanced 2D Studio:
Expanding on the knowledge and skills learned in 2D Studio Art, Advanced 2D
Studio Art students continue to explore design concepts, drawing and
painting techniques, and color theory with an emphasis on individual, in
depth concentration and exploration, and development. In addition, a select
group of artists are introduced, discussed, and interpreted.
Through group demonstrations and discussions, visual examples, and
individual guidance, students will develop their ability to interpret
subject matter and produce thoughtful and creative works of art.
