What do we learn in Painting?
Painting I is open to Juniors who have taken Intro to Art their Sophomore year. Painting II is open to students who have passed Painting I.
The Painting I class focuses on a variety of painting techniques using various media such as watercolor, gouache, tempera, acrylics, pastels, ink wash, collage, and mixed media. Color theory will be emphasized, along with composition, art history and art appreciation. Students will be able to make connections between their finished work and that of various artists and art movements in history. Sketchbooks are required for idea development and for both visual and verbal responses to artwork.
In Painting II, students expand their painting skills. Emphasis is placed on exploring two-dimensional visual themes, Principles of Art, and composition.
