Art 8

Specific two-dimensional, three-dimensional and graphic arts/multimedia courses are offered in the 8th grade. In addition to the media and techniques taught in each area, students learn how to critique art and study various artists throughout history. Aesthetics are emphasized as students develop their artistic awareness and new way of looking at ordinary things in life. Full-year art students engage in large-scale projects to create an aesthetic environment in the school. They learn about art careers and maintain both portfolios and sketchbooks.
