Building on existing artisti skills and understandings, students will
focus in one medium, while also experimenting with numerous other
materials, in the creation of a coherent body of work. Other
components of this course include art history and theory, drawing,
and the organization of a portfolio which may be used for application
to post-secondary studies in an art or design related program.
Here is a treat from the Neo Classical period. Students
at the French Academy were expected to render space, themes and even facial
expressions along a strict code. Here is a chart of facial
expressions developed by Academy professor Charles LeBrun. Here are
some more facial studies
from art history.
