Course Credits
Visual Arts Courses: Each book is designed for one credit (one year), however, if a student desires to take only one year of art the courses can be modified and the two books can be combined. To do this, complete the art assignments on the first and fourth pages of each unit, while only reading the second and third pages of each unit. Award ½ credit per book (one semester). A credit depends on the amount of time spent on the course.
Course Name: Studio Art I / 1 credit Course Text: Artistic Pursuits, Senior High Book 1, The Elements of Art and Composition
Course Description: The fundamentals of art (line, value, shape, texture, space, and form) are emphasized through examples and projects focused on drawing. Critical analysis of artwork is stressed in the application of the elements of art and the principles of design. Art appreciation and art history is included as students evaluate the works of European masters and learn to apply specific techniques to create original works of art.
Information on Building a Portfolio (a group of art works to show to a college for entrance into their program, also the name for the folder you will put the works in) Please note that each college will have its own set of requirements and you should look into those before sending your portfolio to them. These guidelines will be valuable if you keep them in mind as you go through our courses. 1. Include a total of twelve to fifteen pieces completed and matted. 2. 3 pieces should demonstrate drawing skills, shading, value, or line work. 3. Include two or more pieces from each course taken. (This includes other courses you have taken (if any) including photography, pottery, oil painting, etc. 4. Show a variety of media, technique, size and subject matter. Fifteen works of seascapes all done in acrylic will not make a good portfolio. 5. Present the portfolio in a professional manner: neat, organized. Any type of folder will work, but it should look neat if handmade. I suggest something like the Cachet Studio Portfolio at the Dick Blick Art Supply website.
