Mrs. Hoodenpyl I have been an artist for as long as I can remember. In my early years I primarily worked as a portrait artist in charcoal and graphite. Over the years clay has become my passion and is now my main focus. I enjoy showing my own work locally and encourage my students to take their own first steps showing their work publicly. I grew up in White Salmon, Washington and later moved to Trout Lake, WA, where I raised my children. The Pacific Northwest is in my blood and I can’t imagine living and teaching anywhere else! I began working in public schools when my own children were young, volunteering and eventually teaching K-12 as an art specialist. I love teaching art and challenging students to think deeply about the world around them. It is amazing to watch all of my students grow and develop in the the arts. I look forward to an exciting art filled year! Drawing & Painting/Illustration

Advanced Art is designed as the first of two portfolio skill-building classes. Students utilize Advanced Art as the precursor to AP Studio Art. As such, it is designed for the more serious art student desiring to further their education after high school. Prerequisites for Advanced Art are one year in Drawing/Painting Art, one full year in Ceramics Art, or a combination of one semester each of drawing/painting and ceramics. Or by teacher recommendation. Students will explore the concept of personal style through design choices similar to AP Studio’s more autonomous curriculum. To help guide them in this discovery, students are presented with the concept of a project series in portraiture, landscape, figure, abstraction or still life. Students will find some of their own subject and reference materials and interpret them in a manner more student-driven. Students will gain a greater understanding of their strengths and weaknesses while mastering major media and styles. The use of an art sketchbook to record their thoughts and idea development gains even greater significance throughout the course, acting as the student’s laboratory for the creation and exploration of new ideas. RHS Creates!
Advanced Placement Studio Art is a rigorous college-level course, which requires the production of an extensive portfolio. Students who enroll in Advanced Placement Art should do so with the understanding that they plan to participate in Advanced Placement evaluation. The testing fee for any AP class is approximately $92, payable at the end of the year. As well as a course fee of $25 for supplies.
