• Visual Arts Comp I (2D) & II (3D) ~ 8th Graders Only (1 year commitment)

    Visual Art Comp I (2D) and II (3D) is the first course in the Visual Arts pathway.  This course encompasses exploration of image and makes use of techniques in drawing, printmaking, lettering, painting, and collage. This course also involves the exploration of concepts and techniques of contraction, assemblage and media manipulations.  A variety of two-dimensional and three-dimensional designs are created. Historical and contemporary achievements in two and three-dimensional art are explored.
     
    Though Visual Art Comp I & II is offered as a Connections class, it requires a serious commitment and strong work habits by students to ensure both short and long-term levels of success. We use the same materials and have the same expectations as the high school has for students in this course. 

    To be considered for Visual Art Comp I & II, the following commitments have been established:
    1. Students must submit an online signed Parent/Student Acknowledgment and Commitment Form completed online application no later than Monday, March 11th. Applications received after this date may not be considered. 
    * * Please note, the completion of an application does not guarantee placement in this program.
    2. Students selected for Visual Art Comp I & II are required to continue the course for the entire school year.
     
    In the event that there are more qualified students than seats available, students will be selected randomly.

    ** Please keep in mind that student schedules are not finalized until August. Final course placements will not be available until that time. **
