Advanced Art Independent Study is intended for highly motivated students who are seriously interested in the study of art. Students will expand and challenge their visual thinking through in depth exploration of formal and conceptual issues.  Students will continue to develop their technical skills with an emphasis on quality while exploring artistic elements and principles. The student and teacher will agree on a preplanned set of goals and objectives based on the student’s interests. Ongoing critical analysis, through individual and group critiques will enable both student and teacher to assess the strengths and weaknesses in the work. Students should expect to do substantial work outside of class. In addition to developing their technical skills, students will be challenged to think critically and creatively about their own work and the work of their peers. They will be expected to participate actively in class critiques and discussions.
