Studio Art- The students involved with this high level art offering are "Seniors" who have successfully completed at least two previous studio classes of the three offered by the Sayre Area School District. The students selected are instructed to complete 4 projects in each of the 4 marking periods to the exhibition level (must be matted, mounted or framed). Eight of the sixteen projects are to be from a list of general categories of art that are agreed to contractually at the beginning of the course. Typical categories include: Figure study - Pastels- Impressionism- Sculpture- Computer Graphics- Mixed Media- Illustration w/ lettering- Cartooning- Expressionism- Pencil drawing- Ceramic set of 3- Graphic art. All projects must be pre-approved by the instructor in the sketch form and signed before any work can be done for credit. Art history is completed up to present day during this studio as a continuation from the Painting studio.(Full Year)
Semester 1-4	The students that are enrolled in the Studio Art offering are "usually" the most experienced and motivated students in the school. The focus of the class is both to provide opportunity for skill development and to expose the students to options in the field of art that were not made available to them in previous art classes that are part of our current course of study. Once projects are selected it is the intent of the instructor along with the art student to explore the limits of the idea to create a meaningful and challenging experience out of each project. All projects will be considered, if they meet quality standards, and if additional materials are needed they will be obtained by the district within reason. The students are allowed to work at their own rate and are suggested to work additionally at home. Periodic classroom critiques make the students aware of the creativity around them and gives them a sense of where they stand amoung their peers.

Studio Art-Senior Show	This additional project serves as a final grade and is one of the nicest activities within the art department. It allows the students who have worked so hard as students here at Sayre to show off their work to the school one last time. The shows are designed entirely by the students and they are guided to be as creative as possible. The shows are to have their own theme or environment and have name tags to match so that their show is original to the artist themselves. A minimum of 10 works by the students are needed to complete this requirement. All projects must be finished ( framed, mounted or matted) for display.
