Studio Art
Studio in Art is required as a student's first experience. (If art is used as a Regents sequence, it becomes a required course) The student will work in two and three dimensions in a great variety of media, which may include drawing, painting, watercolor, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, charcoal, and pastels. Processes, techniques, and fundamentals of design are learned largely through students' involvement in substantial and exciting projects. Art appreciation, art criticism, aesthetics, and art history are integrated into the program and correlated within the art projects.
