Drawing is a visual arts elective offered for a single semester in the fall or for a whole year.
The curriculum is based on Foundations Drawing courses offered in art schools. Students begin the year practicing line, value, proportion and perspective while observing still-life materials. A variety of media are experimented with including graphite, charcoal, conte, prisma pencils, and pastels, After the basic skills have been acquired through observational drawing, students spend the second semester choosing a personal concept to work on over a longer period of time. Students are encouraged to use the art library and become familiar with the work of past and contemporary artists. The course is based on the Advanced Placement syllabus.
