The projects made by individual students, over this trimester-long course, add up to create a miniature city. <br>Each student designs their own building, along with an exterior public space. Students design a logo and mural that helps to articulate their building’s purpose.<br><br>The idea with this class is to focus on one building that a student feels is needed in the Los Angeles area. <br>We look at and discuss public art and architecture in Southern California. <br>This course includes lectures, discussions and writing, but our focus is hands-on art making.<br><br>This course is designed to help students develop an independent art practice, the kind that forms outside an academic structure. <br>Students are asked to explore ideas and materials just as any artist, designer or architect would in their own studio. <br>Students keep a sketchbook where they draw ideas and plans.<br> We have several assignments designed to teach students fine art drawing techniques.</br></br><b><a href="https://www.rollinghillsprep.org/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=1175054&type=d&pREC_ID=2170010">Click here to return to the Visual Arts Show 2021 Homepage</a></b>
