Art IV

This advanced program of study focuses on the creation of a portfolio for use in the pursuit of higher education or career opportunities. Building on concepts and skills acquired in prerequisite courses—Visual Arts I, II, and III, or Visual Arts I, Drawing and Painting - students will work at a sophisticated level applying their knowledge of production, critical analysis, history and culture, aesthetics, and connections among the visual arts, other content areas, and everyday life. Prerequisite requirement may be waived upon teacher recommendation based on a review of a body of work demonstrating accomplishment of Visual Arts I, II, and III competencies. Work will encompass two and three-dimensional media, techniques, and processes.
