and covey meaning.
Discover modern and contemporary art history movements and genres.
Develop my own area of focus and independent curriculum.

* skilled, self-motivated students may explore personal curriculum for a full-year with approval

WHAT DO I NEED? Pencils, a sketchook, headphones, snacks..

We are super lucky here at CHS to have an awesome arsenal of art supplies.
However, youre more than welcome to bring in a personal set of any type of
art supply so that you dont have to share with anyone but yourself, and
maybe your table besties. FYI- It may be necessary for you to bring in
specific items if you have an independent project idea.

HOW DOES THIS CLASS WORK? SELF-MOTIVATION...

All unit art projects are due by the end of each marking period. If a
project is not completed (without an agreed upon replacement) or a lessthan-stellar grade is received, a student may redo or rework a project up
until the end of the marking period and it will be happily accepted. A nal
exam, written &/or creative will be given at the end of each semester to
evaluate student success, in addition to their portfolio of artwork created
throughout the year.
