Art (Grades 6-8)

Art courses are a semester long. During the course, students will complete lessons on elements of art and principles of design and then use this learning to design and improve their art projects. Projects will be done in a variety of media types to give students experience with different types of art making skills. Students will also practice art piece analysis and critique while studying current and historical artists. Each year there is an art content based theme that shapes how course information is presented and used in projects. 
 
Course Focus:
  • 6th Grade - Elements of Art
  • 7th Grade - Principles of Design
  • 8th Grade - Themes and Media
