Drawing & Painting

Students in Drawing & Painting explore the art of seeing and self-expression through drawing, oil painting, watercolor, and collage. Students are encouraged to explore many forms of creative expression as they continue to develop basic skills and an understanding of aesthetic expression.

Advanced Drawing and Painting continues the study of art as a visual language explored in Drawing and Painting. Advanced Drawing and Painting explores the more complex issues of color, composition, and space through exercises in drawing, oil painting, and watercolor. While the use of traditional materials and techniques is taught, the focus of the course is to teach students to see the relationship between technical skills and aesthetic expression. The course will also help students prepare a portfolio for the college admissions process.
