Advanced Studio Art

Advanced Studio Art utilizes contemporary art as a vehicle for developing conceptual artwork and a personal voice. Techniques and concepts are approached through a wide range of processes allowing students to develop artistic practices unique to their interests and abilities. Independent research in the form of a curatorial project will provide a conceptual framework for various culminating projects such as cyanotypes, artists’ books, and experimentations in new media. 

Critical thinking, advancement in artistic processes, and synthesis of materials are integral to creating a strong portfolio in preparation for college applications, and preliminary research for the capstone program AP Studio Art.
