Course Outline

The Advanced Art program is based on mini- workshops and large projects; these projects have some guidelines, but subject matter is usually up to the student. Students expand upon their knowledge gained in the Foundations course, continuing art techniques or ideas which were introduced in there. Students are also exposed to Art History through videos, slides, periodicals, internet searches, lectures and reports. In addition to projects; students will be given daily sketchbook assignments, which will be turned in each Friday.
