ADVANCED ART
Course Description
The advanced art class should provide instruction leading to an understanding of the language and conceptual structure of art, the development of creative art skills, an understanding of past and present developments in art, and the development of skills and attitudes associated with aesthetic appreciation, evaluation, and discrimination.
A desirable prerequisite for enrollment in the advanced art class should be the successful completion of the beginning art class. The advanced art class does satisfy the studio/performance course within the humanities requirement.
Since the broad areas of instruction are the same for the beginning art class, it is expected that student attainments in these areas be on a higher level of sophistication and accomplishment, forming a continuation of the learning accomplished in the beginning class. It is assumed that the class will be a full year offering.
