Middle School Course Description

Elective Course | Half semester | Open to grades 7–8 only (Students must take Fundamentals of Drawing and Painting prior to signing up for this advanced class, or receive special permission from the teacher)

In this rigorous class, we will build upon the fundamentals of observational drawing and painting skills, with students refining their capabilities of working with a large format and doing multiple revisions of both paintings and drawings. Students will be encouraged to explore their creative aspirations as they dig deep into what goes into making a great work of art. Class focus will be less about doing a series of shorter assignments but rather working in depth on a few projects. This class requires perseverance, determination, and a strong desire to take risks.
