Painting

Course Length: Full year   |   Suggested Grade Level(s): 9, 10, 11, 12

The painting course introduces painting in terms of color and design, and explores representational skills as well as non-representational and abstract elements. This course helps develop basic skills and creative thinking, and students are asked to explore their creative thoughts in a written journal, and to conduct self-evaluations. Using acrylics, students learn to paint still life, portraits, and landscapes, and to use texture, pattern, light, and color to create expressive paintings. 

Suggested prerequisite: Drawing and Design
