Art in the Middle School is designed to complement and add to our unique academic atmosphere. We provide a strong basis for creative thinking and problem solving. The Middle School art program captures the intrinsic need of each grade level and its individual students. For example, fifth graders receive an overview of the art room procedures before becoming involved with drawing, painting, and perspective drawing. Sixth graders explore realism, 7th graders concentrate on the principles of design, and 8th graders work to relate art to their environment. The 8th graders also explore computer graphics. Most projects are process/project oriented and are completed in two and three- dimensional form.

  5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade student participate in art class for 10 weeks each year.

   This year, all of the 8th graders will take art during the first 10-week block of the school year.  The 7th graders will take art during the second block, the 5th graders will be during the third, and the 6th, during the last block.

   The art room is generally open after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays for individual projects or extra help.

 

This month, sixth grade student art work is featured.
