Course Description
This gateway course encourages students to work with a wide range of drawing materials-both traditional and digital- to investigate the nature of mark-making and compositional space. Students will build foundational skills through drawing from observation and imagination, employ positive and negative space while demonstrating an understanding of how to use Emphasis, Movement and Balance to create engaging images at a variety of scales, from intimate to monumental. This course is an excellent jumping off point for higher study such as AP Studio Art or IB Art.
