their work. The study of the great masters will be used as a jumping off point for students to create their own art.
They will be introduced to new skills such as grid drawing, sketching a three-quarter profile self-portrait, and using
perspective in landscape paintings. They will work with a variety of materials and go beyond the fundamentals of
Intermediate Art to obtain a strong working knowledge of many art mediums such as graphite charcoal, pastels,
acrylic paint and watercolors. Students will also have an opportunity to develop their own style in drawing,
painting, and graphic design and will be encouraged to solidify their own artistic visions. Finally, they will be
introduced to portfolio development and will generate a significant amount of completed portfolio-quality art. This
class can be a prelude for students who are considering an art-bound career. Upon completion of this course,
students will have a comprehensive knowledge of art history, design, and technique. Students earn one academic

study and create artwork in a multitude of different styles from impressionism and photo-realism to abstract and
pop art.
Advanced Placement Art students will be required to choose a sustained investigation theme, in the form of a line
of inquiry for their AP Portfolio exams, and will need to be prepared to support and explain their themes in depth
inwriting in order to fulfill the writing component of the AP Portfolio exam. AP students will also learn about
matting and photographing their artwork for a competitive college portfolio. Upon completion of their AP
portfolios, students will submit them for Advanced Placement approval and college credit. This full-credit course
