Studio Art

This comprehensive course is designed for the incoming art student and is a prerequisite for all other art courses. 
Studio in Art is designed to provide a foundation for advanced courses in art. Emphasis is placed on understanding the Elements of Art and Principles of Design as a basis for composition. Students will explore a variety of artists, art processes, and materials such as drawing, painting, printmaking, and two and three-dimensional design. Student artwork will reflect aesthetic, cultural, and historical contexts. Willingness to get involved in the creative process is a more important requirement than the student’s talent or previous experience.
This course fulfills the New York State art requirement for graduation and is a prerequisite for all Art course electives.
