The Intermediate level of 2-D Design expands on the Studio 1 class. Instead of simple representation,
the students are encouraged to find their “artistic voice.” A variety of projects have been designed to
allow the students to be more expressive, not only in terms of technique, but content as well. Since
the course is tailored more toward the individual, the time frames of each project are subject to
change. In addition to their studio work, the students are required to participate in a survey of art
history ranging from prehistory to contemporary art from a variety of cultures.

that usually take
multiple class
periods
The emphasis of the class is on the
actual artwork created. The
projects investigate the principles
of design, the elements of art, and
a variety of art-making techniques.
These projects are reinforced with
art history content. The students
are evaluated on their execution of
the technique, as well as on their
understanding of principles
introduced over the course of the
lesson.
