Welcome!
In this year long, elective class, students will explore more sophisticated drawing and painting techniques, using a variety of media and methods. This is an advanced class for highly motivated students. Students will engage in long term assignments, that will further strengthen their advanced skills and techniques. You will use art as a form of communication and expression, identifying and using the elements and principles of art and design, and exploring the role of artists in society throughout history. Students are encouraged to take risks, think critically, and solve problems visually. Students will master new art vocabulary, art methods and techniques, and will form a deeper connection to the fine arts.

Project 6-Wayne Thiebaud Inspired Food Sculpture
Wayne Thiebaud (born November 15, 1920) is an American painter whose most famous works are of cakes, pastries, boots, toilets, toys and lipsticks. His last name is pronounced "Tee-bo." He is associated with the Pop art movement because of his interest in objects of mass culture, although his works, executed during the fifties and sixties, slightly predate the works of the classic pop artists. Thiebaud uses heavy pigment and exaggerated colors to depict his subjects, and the well-defined shadows characteristic of advertisements are almost always included in his work.
