A.P. Drawing and Painting

In this intensive course, students will produce a portfolio that covers a variety of technical and observational pieces to a self-directed body of work.  The studio setting and smaller class size allows the space to sharpen your skill and get one on one feedback about your artwork.  Upon completion, students will receive college credit as well as having a polished portfolio which can be used in college applications.
