Mr. SEAN SHIPLEY, Art Teacher Room E138 sshipley@pths209.org www.pwhs-art2.blogspot.com

The primary objectives of the Art Department are to encourage students to develop individual expression in the fine and applied arts, to stimulate their curiosity regarding the world around them, and to make them aware that individuals can either beautify or spoil their environment.

This course is a continuation of Art I and focuses on the elements and principles of design and composition. Students will participate in a variety of studio activities, which may include (but are not limited to) drawing, painting, printmaking, collage. Skills and knowledge are further developed through art criticism, art history, and aesthetics. The student will create a digital portfolio project using PowerPoint throughout semester and the completed digital portfolio will act as the Final Exam.
