Homework will require atleast 2 hours per week. We want to commit to on average 104 hours per year self study and development. Homework will be variable subject matters and will be logged in a sketch journal.

In order to build our own style we must research and discover Art from all cultures and styles. These artistic cues will be represented in art that we produce to tell a unique story. We will be reading works to enhance this.

We will be taking trips to galleries where specifically curated guides will be delivered. We will also conduct sketches and outdoor paintings and art if the weather allows.

Abstract Expressionist Art, shapes and composition. We will study Artist Jean Michel Basquiat and the new era of Graffiti style Art and Assemblage.

By this time we have mastered rule of thirds, we are implementing it in our work. However, it is time to build on our composition and move away from the rule of thirds and develop more sophisticated deliveries.

Crit class. We will be looking for more involvement, vocabulary and visual language understanding. This lesson builds on our Art theory.

Sketching. We will start to sketch a statue, working on proportions and complex displays of shadow.
