Advanced 2-D art is an art course for high school credit.  The class is a hands-on experience aimed at the intermediate artist.  The goals of the class are to provide students with skills and strategies for continuing two dimensional art and for the demonstration of improvement in these skills throughout the course.  Students will leave this class with a portfolio of collected work.

 

Some of the projects students will be engaging in throughout this course include:

Contours, gestures, value studies, positive and negative space, still-life, land and cityscapes, cartooning, sequential art, animation, and enlargements. 

 

Class Expectations:

Grading will be based on daily effort, completion and meeting deadlines on projects and homework.  Each project will be graded individually.  Work completed throughout the semester will be saved in a portfolio that will be sent home at the end of the semester.

 

Students are expected to complete daily sketchbook assignments which will be checked weekly.  These assignments make up a large percentage of a students’ grade.  Students are also expected to complete one weekly sketchbook assignment outside of class that roughly consists of one hour of work.

 

Advanced 2-D students will be expected to complete a research based studio project.  This project is a typed research paper on an artist of student’s choice.  The paper should include background information on the artist as well as a critical analysis of a key work of art by the artist.  Guidelines for both the paper and critical analysis are provided.  Students will also be expected to create a work of art connected to the research described above.  The research guided artwork should be of significant scope in terms of scale, time spent, etc.

 

All advanced art students will participate in one high school visit/ observation.  A small written response will be completed after the visit.  Students are expected to make up any missed work in other classes due to the field trip. 

 

Advanced 2-D students are expected to participate in an art/cultural experience outside of the classroom.  This can consist of a visit to an art museum, play, musical performance, CCAD art classes, etc.  Students must complete a written synopsis of the activity and provide proof of attendance. (for example, a brochure, ticket, pamphlet)

 

During final exams, all advanced 2-D art students are expected to create a presentation that showcases information on their research and artwork created throughout the semester.
