8 Art

Dig Deeper -- This year we will explore the elements of design to help students develop both basic & advanced art skills in; drawing, painting and sculpting, design artwork using a variety of media and techniques, develop students’ creativity and self-expression, and recognize and use the art elements (line, shape, color, value, form, texture and space), and design principles (rhythm, balance, proportion, variety, emphasis, harmony and unity). Additionally students will develop skills to evaluate, analyze and interpret their work and others. We will also integrate the humanities curriculum into our exploration of art through history and connecting culture and ideas. Projects are designed for creative exploration, skill building, and reflective learning about both self and the cultures they are studying.
