Building on foundational skills, students expand their artistic abilities through more challenging projects and a broader range of media, including acrylic painting, mixed media, and three-dimensional design.
Students strengthen their understanding of composition, craftsmanship, and visual communication while exploring different artistic approaches and influences. Through research, critique, and exposure to artists, museums, galleries, and contemporary art, students learn to make more intentional creative decisions and begin developing their own artistic direction.
