Upper School Course Description

  • Visual Arts, Performing Arts, and Media Arts
Advanced Studio Art
Prerequisite: Prior completion of one year of Studio Art or departmental recommendation
Open to students in grades 11–12

Advanced Studio Art provides a challenging yearlong opportunity to explore concepts and techniques in the visual arts. Students are introduced to a wide variety of art-making media in a structured environment and challenged to find individual solutions to projects that meet the criteria of well-rendered, well-conceived, thoughtful artistic study and practice. The resulting student works demonstrate a year of technical and conceptual achievement, and, in some cases, provide the individual artist a foundation on which to pursue more self-guided discovery in AP Studio Art.
