| Drawing 2 | This course introduces students to methods of structural based drawing through rigorous observational practices. With an emphasis on composition, ideas such as light, shade, value contrast, tone, proportion, texture, mass, volume, and technique are introduced. Utilizing the study of natural and man-made objects, students become familiar with one, two, and three point perspective. | Class |
| Freshman Portfolio Review | This is a non-credit portfolio review taken by all Freshmen at the end of their second semester of study. Attendance at the Freshman portfolio review is mandatory as this is a graduation requirement. Prerequisite: two semesters of Foundation study

| Life Drawing 1 | This course focuses on the basic anatomy of the human figure. Students improve their understanding of figure drawing through the studies of skeletal structures and muscle masses. Issues such as foreshortening, accurate proportion, lighting, and composition are explored. Prerequisite: none | Class |
| Visual Design 2 | This course explores theories and practices of three-dimensional design. Students use a variety of materials, processes, and techniques to explore fundamental issues such as volume mass, gravity, tension, compression, light, color, and structure. Prerequisite: FD 1115 Visual Design 1 | Class |
| Drawing 1 | This course investigates the creative possibilities found in the act of drawing and thinking. Students draw from seen and invented subject matter to practice with conceptual ideas, experimental materials, and techniques. Drawing exercises emphasize composition, positive/negative space, figure-ground relationship, and multiple points of view. | Class |
| Visual Design 1 | This course investigates the language, theories, and practices of color and two-dimensional design in the visual arts. This course familiarizes students with the basic relationships between color and compositional practices such as space, unity, emphasis, balance, rhythm, and proportion. Prerequisite: none | Class |
| Sculpture 3: Directed Studies | Through advanced research, students consider contemporary issues while refining a personal visual vocabulary. Emphasis is on content, idea development and process. At the end of this course, students have progressed their art towards a coherent body of work, evolving out of concepts explored in previous studies. Individual influences and sources are researched and investigated. | Class |
| Sculpture Investigations 1 | This is the first of a two-semester course sequence of sculpture investigations and is designed to further expand awareness of materials and concepts available in the discipline of sculpture. Each semester, contemporary and/or traditional materials and methods are introduced. | Class |

| Sculpture Senior Portfolio Review | All Seniors who are ready to graduate are required to participate in their departmental Senior Portfolio Review, which is always the last day of the term preceding the final term of study. This pre-graduation portfolio review is an initial step in preparing students for both their graduation exhibition and their movement from the academic environment into the professional world. | Class |
