This studio-based art course integrates classic literature with advanced, process-driven artmaking. Students read selected works of enduring literature and respond through drawing, mixed media, sculpture, and bookbinding, emphasizing symbolism, interpretation, and personal vision rather than imitation. The course functions like a small working studio, with technical instruction woven into hands-on projects and a hand-bound art journal serving as a private record of sketches, quotes, and reflection throughout the semester. Artistic skill is developed, but the primary focus is on effort, craftsmanship, and thoughtful engagement with both text and material.

The course prioritizes effort, care, and engagement with both text and material, fostering confidence, responsibility, and a sustained love of learning through art.
