GR Art Classes
Art 1:  This is a freshman course designed for students to explore a wide range of art media. The elements and principles of art are applied to basic drawing, beginning painting, ceramics and sculpture, graphic design, digital art, printmaking, and multicultural handcrafts. Art history and art critique are also studied in conjunction with various assignments. This is a two term class.

Art 2:  In this class students build on information and skills covered in Art 1, with a greater emphasis placed on studio work. Students investigate and work with a variety of art and design projects and study basic art history and art critique. This class is two terms and has a prerequisite of Art 1.

Art 3:  In this class students build on information and skills covered in Art 1 and Art 2.  Assignments become more open-ended as students work to refine their abilities in various drawing, painting, ceramics, printmaking, digital and design media and art history.  This class is two terms and has a prerequisite of Art 1 and Art 2.
 

Art 4:  In this class students build on information and skills covered in Art 1, 2 and 3. Personal student vision is expected as students continue to refine and enhance their abilities in drawing, painting, ceramics, printmaking, digital and design media and art history. This class is two terms and has a prerequisite of Art 1, Art 2, and Art 3.

Art Portfolio:  This class is designed for advanced students to continue to develop their self-expressive and technical skills. Due to the individualized nature of this class, students must be self-motivated and willing to work independently. Prerequisites for this class include Art 1, Art 2, Art 3, and Art 4.

Art Portfolio 2: This class is a continuation of the artistic development process started in Art Portfolio. As stated before, students must be self-motivated and willing to work independently.  Prerequisites include Art 1-4 and Art Portfolio.

Seventh and Eighth Grade: The seventh and eighth grade art courses offer students the opportunity to become more familiar with artistic techniques, media, and processes, while delving deeper than previous elementary courses. As students explore these new ideas, they are introduced to complementary art history periods and artists. Students will create projects involving colored pencil, shaded pencil, watercolor paint, tempera paint, calligraphy pens, fiber arts, digital art, and clay, among other things.
