Middle School Visual Art

In middle school art, we make it a mission to keep a student's love of the creative process alive and thriving. Students have longer art classes and are able to come to art class more frequently. Responsibility also increases as students begin to maintain their own sketchbooks, write art reports, engage in class critiques and begin to work more independently on their studio projects. Middle school art encompasses not just the history and production of art, but challenges student thinking with concepts of how art fits into our society, why art is important to us, how to be well versed and appreciate art as an educated, individual thinker. All of this pulls into to our overall belief in a discipline based art education, combining art production, art history, art criticism and aesthetics.
