8th Grade Art

8th Grade Visual Art will look at how the Elements and Principles can be used in artwork to effectively communicate what the artist is intending.  Creativity, craftsmanship and technique will continue to be a focal point of work but individual artistry and creative freedom will also be encouraged.  Projects will become more advanced and expectations will go up for the quality of work.  Over the semester course we will cover drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, photography, computer art, art history, art criticism, and art appreciation.
