(22) Week of February 12th

IS ART IN YOUR FUTURE?
Art 2 allows students to explore art making, art history, and art appreciation in greater depth than in Art 1. Observational drawing remains an essential component of the Art 2 curriculum as it supports the continued development of cognitive and practical learning modalities. Additional two and three-dimensional studio experiences will supplement the basic skills learned in Art 1 while refining abilities in craftsmanship, critical thinking, fluency in the formal language of art, and an awareness of cultural, global and personal themes. These elevated experiences will allow students to make critical choices as they seek their own artistic vision/voice.

​HOMEWORK is designed to: 1) allow for exploration, practice, preparation, and application of class content, 2) encourage independent work, time management, and efficiency of work flow (don't procrastinate!), 3) fit within the weekly homework time allotted for this class. Keep these things in mind as you work. Use of a timer is one way to stay on task and to monitor your work time. Please note that your individual needs and work process may result in spending more or less than the suggested average time. Please ask for help/use extended lunch as needed; communicate extension requests 3-days before a deadline.​​
