2D Studio Art

This course is for students of all skill levels who would like to learn new approaches or further their work with a variety of materials and methods. Students will explore perspective, drawing and painting techniques, work with mixed media, printmaking, and complete a non-traditional ‘drawing’ assignment. Students will be encouraged to think conceptually about the materials they use, and how they use them.

Completion of this course requires regular access to a laptop or desktop computer with working microphone and webcam, as well as a reliable internet connection.

This Fixed-Paced course incorporates a blend of synchronous and asynchronous elements. Students and teacher meet live via zoom on a regular weekly schedule. In addition, students complete coursework including guided readings, interactive videos, text and video-based discussion threads, problem sets, individual and collaborative projects, and so on. While these activities are time-flexible, teachers sequence them with weekly deadlines to help students keep on track and encourage and support the development of productive time management skills.
