(1 period per day for 1 year) Fee: $40
Prerequisite: Drawing
Honors Drawing is for the student who wants to pursue a rigorous in-depth exploration of drawing as an art form. This course emphasizes exploring drawing media and developing individual aesthetic approaches while building formal, technical, and conceptual skills. Students learn to draw convincing representations of observed and inventive forms in a variety of spatial situations including still-life, figures, portraits, interiors, and landscapes. As students work through the drawing program, they work more intensely and independently. Students will be expected to demonstrate independent, critical, contextual and visual research from various cultures through entries in a routinely assessed investigative workbook. A student fee is charged for this course for expendable materials. However, due to individual needs, students may be requested to purchase art supplies.
