Students will design and produce a wide variety of
drawing and painting art works to create a process
portfolio (which will include a collection of finished art
works, self-evaluations, idea sketches, handouts, notes,
and critiques). They will study art history, the elements
and principles of design, critiquing, and aesthetics (the
appreciation of beauty). Student activities include working
with pencil, pen and ink, charcoal, pastels, colored pencil,
watercolor, tempera, acrylic, and mixed media. Students
will be required to have or purchase a sketchbook and an
art portfolio (in which to collect art works), as well as
other supplies to be announced by the teacher.

In Drawing and Painting II and III, students will work on
increasingly more individual and independent projects
in all phases of art production, resulting in a varied and
complex collection of art projects to be maintained in the
art portfolio.
