Building on skills learned in drawing class, students will apply critical and aesthetic criteria in order to improve their own works of art. They will explore sophisticated approaches to developing finished drawings with a more varied selection of media and subject matter. Students will reflect on how artworks differ visually, spatially, and functionally. Students will use subject matter, symbols, ideas, and themes that demonstrate knowledge of contexts, values, and aesthetics.
