HONORS ART

Tatnall’s Honors Art curriculum is designed to provide serious and committed Upper School fine art students an opportunity to develop a college-level fine art portfolio. Students are expected to maintain a sketchbook to function as a resource for artistic development. Honors art students are expected to demonstrate an advanced understanding of the elements and principles of art and to use studio time in a disciplined and mature manner. The course moves from primarily instructor-led assignments to more independent creative explorations. Students will learn how to plan, develop and research a concentration project. Students will also participate in both formal and informal class critiques to sharpen their critical thinking skills and expand their artistic vocabulary.
