#           Advanced Art II (9-12E)            Full Year                      1 Credit

This course is designed to build on concepts and processes learned in Foundations of Art I.   Students explore the major genres in art: abstraction, landscape, still life, and the human figure.  Students will be encouraged to integrate common objects and viewpoints by looking at and creating art in an individual way.  Students, in turn, will express their own themes in their visual projects and will write explanatory/analytical essays regarding their work.   In applied media such as ceramics, animation, and computer graphics, students further explore the relationship between form and function.
