A special performance field trip is scheduled in the spring of each year during the school day for fun and enrichment. The course stresses development of perceptive listening skills and an awareness of the basic content, forms, instrumentation, and styles of the major European and American musical eras from the Middle Ages to the present. The speech assignments will include informative, persuasive, and demonstrative presentations. The development of attentive listening skills will also be emphasized. This course is an introductory studio art class for the beginner.
Drawing is fundamental to all the visual arts.
This is an advanced drawing class which focuses on the human figure. Students do studies of classical proportions and anatomy, and they use the figure as a vehicle for personal expression. Students learn to use a variety of drawing media. Advanced art students will paint with acrylic on canvas. This class provides serious art students with the opportunity to prepare a portfolio for review by the Advanced Placement Board.
