Visual Arts I (Beginning 2D)

The Visual Arts I curriculum is designed to introduce high school students to a comprehensive range of drawing and painting media. Throughout the course, students build techniques and processes, primarily focusing on working from first and second-hand observation.

Additionally, students study the works of other artists to understand how to confidently create works that communicate personal relevance and meaning. Students learn to form aesthetic judgments by viewing and discussing the work of their peers, thus understanding the art criticism process and specialist vocabulary.
