Honors drawing & painting

This course welcomes self-driven and creatively motivated students and offers students the unique opportunity to develop a more independent voice while working toward a deeper understanding of specific interests in drawing, painting and/or printmaking.  Students work to further develop technique, explore guided concept driven assignments and nurture an ever-evolving personal aesthetic.  A sketchbook is used throughout the year and builds on studio habits relating to ideation, creative notations, observed studies, and personal journaling.   This course offers those students that are interested an opportunity to begin building a professional college portfolio that will go towards college admission, pre-college summer programs, and national competitions.  Students will work with the instructor to digitally archive their work throughout the academic year.
