Middle School Art Program Description:
The Visual Arts Program in the Middle School is a 30 week program spread over
grades 6,7 and 8. Classes meet on an alternating day basis for one semester (20
calendar weeks) each year.
Students are introduced to a variety of methods, techniques, and media to create individual and group solutions to art problems. All units and projects apply and expand students knowledge of the Elements of Art, Principles of Design, and the Standards for Visual Art set by the NYS Education Department.
All units include components of four learning standards:
-
to create works of art using techniques and processes
-
to gain knowledge of art history, artists, and cultures
-
to understand art-related career options
-
to learn ways to appreciate and criticize works of art
Three areas to study in 2 and 3-dimensional work:
-
Color and Light
-
Space and Structure
-
Movement
Art lessons provide opportunities for students to develop decision-making skills and use creative approaches to solve Art problems. Lessons include use of both traditional media and modern technologies. Student choices and preferences exist in some aspect of every Art activity.
