Advanced Studio Art

This full-time semester- or year-long course is available to 10th, 11th and 12th grade students who have completed Introduction to Studio Art (and preferably at least one other visual art elective) and are committed to studying visual art throughout Upper School and beyond, perhaps in art school or studying studio art in college. This class is student-led and will include media exploration through drawing, painting, mixed media, and printmaking. Students may explore subject matter that inspires them including landscape, portraiture, and abstraction. They will be working from life and reference photos and there may be some plein air art-making opportunities. This course may
be utilized as a pre-AP course to begin portfolio-development or as a full-time alternative to Advanced Drawing or Painting, as similar skills will be covered.
