This course is an art intensive course for students who really want to dive into their skills and their form of expression. To be in this class, you must already have a well-formed understanding of drawing. With that being said, we will still be working on developing those skills. However, I would not recommend this class for new artists. 
This class will be taking place in sections that must be taken in order. This is the first section for the class and is a great way to try out the class to see if it is a good fit for you.
This is an excellent course for homeschoolers!! This course is modeled after an AP Studio Art class but PLEASE NOTE this is not a class that can be taken for AP credit.
Within this course, we will be going through a number of materials, such as paint, sculpting materials, and a multitude of drawing materials. (See Learner Supply List for more information)
Please contact me prior to the first class you attend so I can specifically tell you what materials will be needed for the current or upcoming project. 
Similarly to my Advanced Drawing Course, there will be times where we will work to fully plan our pieces using thumbnail drawings, mood boards, reference photos, experimentation with media, and color schemes. However, this process will have higher expectations than my Advanced Drawing Course and will be a bit more vigorous with more research and further evaluation of connection to self, culture, and others. This class will also involve critiques after projects, as well as in the middle of a project. Something new to this class that was not a part of my Advanced Drawing Course is writing, there will be assignments with writing in response to others artwork as well as about ones own work. It is important for developing artists to understand how to talk and write about art, whether it is someone elses art or their own. 

Please understand that as this class is meant for artists who are ready for upper level artistic expression, classes will not be fully step by step, there will be moments of step by step but it is an important part of the course that students learn to be somewhat independant artists.
