Art II: 8th Grade – Half Year
The Art II program is a one semester (.5 credits) continuation of the Art I basic visual art class and is offered to 8th grade students who have successfully completed Art I. This course is designed to extend the students’ knowledge, understanding, and use of art media and technique; to increase the students’ understanding of the work of a variety of artists; and to help the students become more aware of the aesthetic qualities in his/her environment. Students will work in a “studio” situation with a focus on projects and concepts that develop new and more complex skills, visual thinking, and literacy.
