Art 10 (5 credits)

Prerequisite: None
Art 10 is a foundation course that introduces students to materials and technical skills needed for successful drawing, painting, and sculpture. Through a wide variety of activities and projects students will be expected to act and think like artists and stretch themselves creatively. This course also includes developing and expanding your visual language through art history and critique.

Art 20 (5 credits)

Prerequisite: Art 10
Art 20 is an extension of Art 10. It expands on the knowledge and skills gained in such areas as drawing, painting, sculpture, art appreciation and design. This would include project work such as chalk and charcoal drawings and advanced painting techniques in watercolour and acrylic along with exploring new painting surfaces, relief sculpture and multi-media projects.

The development of thought processes and thoughtful art becomes increasingly important. Students are expected to develop their own themes in many projects and execute a self-directed project of personal interest.

Art 30 (5 credits)

Prerequisite: Art 20
Art 30 is the culmination of two years of studio work. Emphasis is on deep exploration of drawing, painting and sculpture through complex assignments and projects that focus on individual preferences and creative exploration. Students are encouraged to develop their own style and to specialize in their preferred media. Art critique, encounters, and history will be intertwined with projects.
