Course Description:
This course is designed for students who have demonstrated an ability to complete challenging work successfully at a demanding pace. Individuals will work to solve problems that focus on the depiction of light and ways to approach design in two and three dimensions. Students will be expected to gain skills in creative problem solving, independent research, problem finding and commitment to practice.
Fundamental Experiences:
Observational drawing and painting is the emphasis in Art II. Students are expected to become proficient in:
1. the use of contour and gesture to depict shape and position.
2. the accurate portrayal of proportions of forms in space.
3. the description of form and space through the use of light and shadow.
4. the use of color both realistically and expressively.
5. the ways to articulate responses (oral and written) to their own work and to the works of classmates and master artist exemplars.
Materials:
*You are not required to buy anything for Art II. All materials will be provided. Students with a strong interest in art are recommended to purchase:
- A hard sketchbook (hard cover book or spiral bound.)
8.5”x11” or 9”x12” DO NOT get tablet bound pads (taped binding)
You may use your sketchbook from Art I
- An art portfolio. Try to find one at least 30” wide (36” is ideal).
Students who choose not to purchase one may make their own in class out of cardboard.
Materials can be found at local arts or office supply stores such as Michael’s, Office Depot, Staples, JoAnn’s, Laurel Arts etc.
*Links to supply stores and other suggestions for the serious artist can be found on the Art Department Web Site.
