This second-year high school visual arts course builds upon the foundational concepts and skills learned in the first year while aligning with the Common Core Standards for California. Learners will continue to explore various media and techniques used to create art while also delving deeper into the five components of the standards: artistic perception, creative expression, historical and cultural context, aesthetic valuing and connections, and relationships and applications. Through a combination of studio work and art history, learners will gain a deeper understanding of the impact of visual arts on society and culture. They will also develop critical thinking skills by analyzing and interpreting works of art from different time periods and cultural contexts. learners will apply the conventions of art criticism and engage in reflective practice to refine their own artistic voice and style. By the end of this course, learners will have honed their technical skills and developed a greater appreciation for the role of visual arts in our world.
