Art Curriculum

Middle School Art covers the Elements of Art and the Principles of Design. We follow famous artists and teach formal art appreciation.

Our Sixth grade class jumps right into learning about creativity, expression and seeing art.  Sixth Grade does an art history project where they receive a famous artist and painting to study, recreate and present.  

Our Seventh grade class will learn about the Elements of Art across all three trimesters, studying different artists and movements, they are then challenged to create their own interpretations of work that include the current element of art in study. 

Our Eighth grade class is broken down into three sections through the school year.  We Start in the first Trimester Studying the Principles of Art.  During our second trimester eighth grade studies Fashion Design and has to create an outfit out of found materials.  Our third trimester is an introduction to digital art.
