Visual Arts & Ceramics
Welcome to the Knights' Studio Art Experience! Students get to explore various mediums in our Visual Arts Studio Classes, including Drawing and Rendering with Pencil, Color Pencil and Charcoal, Watercolor Painting, Acrylic Painting, Textiles, Wire Sculpture, Printmaking, and Ceramics! The studio experience challenges students to think critically about the work they create, teaches students processes and techniques specific to each genre/medium explored, and prepares students with the 21st Century Skills needed to critique/evaluate artwork with rubrics, creating and upkeeping a digital portfolio of the work they create, and builds the confidence of the student artist to speak knowledgeably and fluently about their artwork using essential vocabulary and standards. Expect tests, quizzes, writing, reading, math and science! #Art is a Core Subject.
Visual Arts students have the opportunity to create art in a variety of different settings!

8th Grade Studio Arts
We are excited to have a thriving year-long art program for our 7th and 8th grade students.
Independent Studies as a Studio Class is heavily project based, and can only be taken by 8th Grade Visual Arts students that can pass the Cumulative Visual Arts Exam with an 85 or better. Students who test-out are given challenging/advanced projects that require critical thinking skills and collaboration/planning, experimenting with various mediums and can approach projects with choice.
Students interested in year long art should talk to or email Ms. Edwards or talk to her at school before end of each school year.
