ACADEMICS Art Department -The Course of Study : ADVANCED COURSES DIPLOMA REQUIREMENT COURSES INTRODUCTORY COURSES SYNTHESIS COURSES CONTINUING Students continuing in art beyond the diploma requirement may take additional 300 level courses or 400 level courses. At the advanced level, two pathways are possible: advanced concentration courses and synthesis courses. As each 400 level course varies in requirements, it is important to check the prerequisites for each one. ADVANCED CONCENTRATION COURSES Advanced Placement: History of Art ART -400/1 ART -400/2 ART -400/3 ART - 401/2 Architecture II ART - 401/3 In the second term of architecture, students will be encouraged to explore architectural design at greater depth. Students will continue to design through the use of sketches, drawings, and models in a variety of different media, as well as with computer aided design. Through the study of historical precedents, students will consider such issues as approach, entry, structural organization, materiality, and form. Term-long projects will often be assigned, giving students the chance to discover their own approach to integrating all of the necessary concepts into an architectural design. Prerequisite: Art 301 Architecture I, Art 304 Drawing or Art 308 Sculpture I. (Ms. Harrison) back to TOP ART - 402/2 Ceramics II ART - 402/3 This course is designed for students who have taken Art 302 and wish to continue their study of ceramics. As an advanced course, students in Art 402 will be asked to expand on their existing knowledge of ceramics, to strengthen their technical skills and to seek sophisticated conceptual and personal solutions to given assignments. Class projects will range it topic but will stress the concept of developing ideas in series; a series of bottle shapes, a series of vase shapes, etc. As a class, we will try to place ceramics within the continuum of artistic practice and explore its various manifestations. Students can expect to do some outside reading, to attend slide and video presentations and to visit the Addison and Peabody museums. Students will also participate in all aspects of the making and finishing of their work. This course has a required evening lab. Prerequisite: Art 302 Ceramics I. (Mr. Zaeder) | |
