7th Grade Art

Art Expectations

Early Morning Passes

Please have filled out to come in and work before school from 7:35 - 8:00

Art 7 is required for one trimester in seventh grade. It's also a prerequisite for the Art Materials and Printmaking elective. Art 7 continues to build and elaborate on the concepts learned in Art 6. 

Students continue to recognize that by learning about the art and styles of various cultures and periods of art throughout history that their own sensitivity to art is increased. Observation skills and hand-eye coordination continue to develop through figure or portrait drawing from life. Understanding of the compositional devices of movement and balance in addition to harmony and emphasis are explored in graphic design. Color and value are explored in a painting project incorporating perspective and proportion to create the illusion of depth on a two-dimensional surface. The limits of clay continue to be explored through hand-building techniques other than but not excluding the slab method. 

Their artwork is evaluated according to the same five domains of concept/meeting the objective, technical skills, originality, craftsmanship, and effort as in sixth grade. They continue to evaluate and reflect upon their work in writing using the vocabulary and concepts learned in the unit.
