|
The art program in the middle school is designed to give each student experience in a variety of skills, techniques and materials and should enable the student to organize these materials and his/her ideas into increased personal creative expression. Ultimately, this should result in self-realization and personal growth. The art program is designed to develop in the
student a sense of community; that is, sharing
materials, working together, and respecting others
and their work. It will not be restricted to the
classroom but will be taught in its application to
the legacy of man, to the contemporary environment,
and to future career opportunities. Art is a
required course of study for all 6th, 7th, and 8th
grade students. INTRODUCTION TO ART
The 6th and 7th grade program is designed as an introductory course to color, theory, composition, and two- and three-dimensional design while exploring different media. Students will work in the areas of painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, and clay. At this level, the stress is on organization of materials and ideas, care and respect of materials, a development of a sense of community, and the development of imagination and creative problem solving. GRADE 8 (18 weeks - Meets every 3 days on a 6-day cycle) The 8th grade program is designed to allow
students the opportunity to explore some of the
following areas in greater depth: drawing and
painting, pottery, sculpture, printmaking, crafts
and multimedia.
