Period 1
Art 1-2
Entry Art — foundations of visual art
An introduction to the 7 Elements of Art and 7 Principles of Design, exploring a variety of materials, techniques, styles, movements, and cultures. Built to work for total beginners and returning students in the same room.
Period 2
Studio Art 3-4
Advanced studio practice — student-driven
For students who have the fundamentals. The focus shifts from learning the elements and principles to applying them with intention — a personal body of work, refined technique across media, and a portfolio. Studio Art students mentor Art 1-2 when content overlaps.
