Art
I* [1]
Prerequisite: Semesters taken in sequence.
Art I allows the student the opportunity to learn how to work with a large
variety of materials. The first semester of Art I will introduce the student
to drawing and color study using the elements and principles of design.
Drawing will consist of sequential learning steps with emphasis on developing
shading skills. Color studies will include but not be restricted to using
waterbase paint. The second semester, which builds on first semester skills,
will include the study of painting, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics,
and fibers (optional). Printmaking will involve relief printing; sculpture
will include additive construction; ceramics will consist of hand building
methods of pinch, coil, and slab; fibers might consist of basic weaving
or other techniques. Computer manipulated works are incorporated into
the curriculum. The approximate supply cost is $25.00. Art I must be scheduled
for both semesters.
Art
I – H/PreAP [1]
Prerequisite: Recommendation of art teacher
Pre-Advanced Placement Art I allows the student the opportunity
to learn how to work with a large variety of materials. The Pre-Advanced
Placement Art I curriculum follows the College Board directives
of the Advanced Placement Studio requirements. Pre-AP Art I provides
learning opportunities for 9th and 10th grade students beyond those
available in the regular Art I class by extending the state essential
knowledge and skills through drawing and color study (first semester).
Students also learn what will be expected of them for the AP Portfolio
Examination. The second semester focuses on painting, printmaking,
sculpture, and ceramics. Computer manipulated works are incorporated
into the curriculum. The approximate supply cost is $25.00.
Art II H/PreAP
[1]
Prerequisite: Recommendation of Art I teacher and/or portfolio
Successful completion of Art I or Art I/H/PreAP
Art II H/Pre AP allows the student to work with a large variety of materials.
The Pre-AP Art II curriculum is designed to spiral and expand the Art
I or Pre-AP Art I curriculum. The Pre-AP Art II course work follows College
Board outlines for Advanced Placement Studio Portfolios. Students will
apply the elements and principles of art in all compositions to a greater
proficiency than other Art II students as well as connect art history
and criticism to those productions. Students will develop skills in drawing
and color theory application beyond the average Art II student as they
continue reviewing requirements of the AP examination. Second semester
extends learning through higher expectations in painting, printmaking,
sculpture, and ceramics. Pre-AP Art II is an honors credit class recommended
for students seriously looking at a visual art career. Computer manipulated
works are incorporated into the curriculum. The approximate student supply
cost is $25.00.
