Middle School Art Cycle
The middle school art cycle is an introductory class for the high school Visual Art Program. We will be working on a myriad of activities that will teach students how to be successful in drawing, mixing colors, manipulating stained glass (if in school), creating 3 dimensional designs and others. Art history, artists, aesthetics and art concepts will be explored for inspiration and information to help students make informed decisions for their artwork.
Foundations IThis is the foundational one year course that is mandatory for entrance into all other fine art 2D classes. It provides the student with the knowledge and practice of the Elements of Art and the Principles of Design as they apply to 2D art. Through a variety of drawing and painting mediums, techniques, and critiques, the student’s personal skills, aesthetics, and creativity will nurtured and challenged. A variety of art genres, periods, and artists will be introduced to provide inspiration, subject matter context, and historical content.Advanced Placement Studio ArtThis course builds upon the junior year experience in Advanced Studio Art class and further supports portfolio development for college submission. This course prepares students to take the Advanced Placement exam in Studio Art. The creation and development of personal theme portfolio pieces and a college photographic slide portfolio are emphasized.Students are expected to present a total of 20 pieces for their AP portfolio: 15 concentration designs and 5 quality designs.The exam is held within in the first week of May which leaves about 8-9 class days to produce each design needed for the portfolio. This schedule leaves very little time for leisure. Students must be committed to the schedule for them to be successful in receiving a high score (4 or 5) for the AP exam, which can be used towards college credit. This is a very challenging course and meant for the serious and passionate students of the visual arts.Prerequisite: Advanced Studio Art and/or Intermediate Studio art, teacher recommendation and a successful portfolio review.Have a question?
