SEQUOIA MIDDLE SCHOOL
ART 7/8
During the semester long course, students will express themselves creatively through traditional drawing and painting mediums as they develop art skills and concepts. Visual art, a language of communication, is a way to understand the world through line, shape, color, space, texture, and value.
The visual arts curriculum includes recognizing art as a form of expression, identifying and using the elements and principles of art and design, and exploring the role of artists in society throughout history. Students are encouraged to take risks, think critically, and solve problems visually with a goal of forming a deeper connection to the arts.
About Mr. Dean
As a teacher, my goal is to develop lessons that broaden the thinking of my students while providing an enthusiastic environment to work and explore. I believe everyone has creative potential and I enjoy helping my students unlock their artistic talents. I'm excited to be part of the Sequoia team that supports the arts in education.
