Studio Art IV
Grades 11-12
This course is designed for students who have completed Studio Art I-III. Students at this level possess a broad foundation in drawing, design and color, exposure to various concepts, media and techniques, and an awareness of stylistic developments in art during the 20th century. Students are guided through the process of creating and assembling a portfolio, and in the second half of the course, students begin to explore and develop a body of work based on a theme of personal interest. Much time is spent researching ideas for the theme, and once an idea is identified, students begin their process of exploration. The course focuses on each individual student’s needs and goals. Students who plan on studying art at the college level receive guidance regarding research, program selection, and the application process, and visiting admissions counselors from various art colleges and programs offer additional feedback.
Prerequisite: Studio Art III or Permission of Instructor
