This course continues building on the fundamental concepts and skills learned in Drawing & Painting 1 while practicing the creative cycle used by working artists. Students will learn about relevant topics in art history—such as sequential art, scratchboard, and the portrait genre—and develop skill in pen & ink, scratchboard, and acrylic paint to render the human face and form in two-dimensional art. Each unit is a creative inquiry process from ideation to final product that is guided by essential questions. Students will strengthen their understanding of the elements of art and the principles of design, analyzing and forming judgments on artworks using their knowledge of each and begin to use the elements and principles with intention in their own artworks. They will also participate in critiques, reflecting on constructive feedback given by peers for the purpose of personal artistic growth. By the end of the course, students will have completed three culminating works that may contribute to their art portfolio.
