Art IV: Advanced

This advanced level course helps students reinforce competence and confidence in skills of analysis, evaluation, and creation of works of art. Content and concepts associated with art criticism and aesthetics are central to the refinement of art production skills. The student-directed approach at this level richly enhances personal expressive abilities. An advanced level of performance that reflects critical and independent thinking and innovation is expected. Students continue to maintain process art portfolios. The culminating portfolio must show evidence of quality, concentration, and breadth of work produced throughout the high school art program.
