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.
