    Independent Study    

​

Many of the advanced Art & Media courses are exploratory in nature. They present students with problems that have a multitude of artistic solutions. Students are introduced to a variety of techniques and select the ones that will best benefit their individualized outcome. The courses are designed to meet the needs of all levels through conferencing one-on-one and encouraging personal growth. Each student has a personalized goal. Courses are repeatable through Independent Study in which they would have new problems to solve and would be pushed to create work beyond their previous level. All repeatable courses may not be repeated in the same school year; they may be repeated in a subsequent year.

 

Independent Study is based on teacher approval, teacher availability, and quality of previous coursework.
