Adv Art 12 Additional Components:1. Community connections: Independently, students are to find a member in our local artistic community to work with on a volunteer basis and to create an artwork or essay that demonstrates advanced artistic learning. This may be done as a combination of volunteer work and commissioned instruction. This will be done in after school hours and parents and the student will be responsible to provide their own transportation. Artistic Learning: Artists grow through exchanges and active participation in a community.This should be an advanced experience. 2. Art Journal: The Art Journal plays an integral role in the artist's life. It is the external memory bank, recording observations, ideas, research, explorations, expressions, etc. By the end of this course this book would be full of drawings, ideas, and written concepts. It can be used in part to produce preliminary sketches for larger ideas or to simply observe the physical world. Advanced Art 11 students fill a 9x12 Art Journals and Advanced Art 12 fill a 11x14 Art Journal. See Art Categorically Speaking for ideas on various forms of visual representation. 3.
