Description and Objectives

The 300 level art courses are considered advanced art. On this level, the student is required to be more self-directed, weening himself off of copying famous art work and starting to make more original compositions. This means working from his own photos, arranging his own still lifes, working more from real life and imagination. He should begin to show a mastery of one or more media and proficiency in all of them. He should be thinking whether he is a candidate for AP art and, if so, begin building a portfolio of original work that could be submitted to the College Board for possible AP credit his senior year.
