Honors Art is designed to give the students a foundation in creative visual thinking and problem solving. Projects will involve experimentation with methods and media. The artistic mediums explored will involve a variety of advanced drawing, painting, printmaking, and sculptural techniques. Students will have studio and academic homework. This course is for the serious art student who desires to create a portfolio and is planning on enrolling in Art III Major.
