Advanced Art – Grades 6, 7, 8 (yearlong elective)

This year long course is for the student who has a love for art, the determination to learn, to excel, and be challenged in their skills and techniques in art. This class will review, but also explore, in depth, the art elements and principles of design, color theory, conceptual and critical thinking, problem solving, and examine history and style. This class is open to 6th, 7th and 8th graders and is highly suggested that a previous art class had been taken.
