  • 7.V.3.3 Compare techniques and processes to create art.
  • 8.V.3.3 Evaluate techniques and processes to select appropriate methods to create art.

Art Fee

There is a $5.00 art fee for all middle school students enrolled in a visual arts course. Please instruct your child to bring this money to me so I can make sure it goes into our art account. I will receipt it and provide a copy of the receipt to your child. Thank you for supporting the arts. The table to the right gives an example of how these funds will be spent. I also supplement our budget with grants, DonorsChoose, and donations.

Colored Pencils

There are so many techniques that can be used with colored pencils beyond just coloring. Check out our Unit 2 to learn more!

Watercolor Pencils

During November, we will be learning about watercolor. We will learn about watercolor pencil techniques and traditional watercolors.
