8th grade Art is a semester course for students during the elective block in the junior high schedule. This year, students will have several opportunities to learn about the artmaking process, learn about different careers in art, and explore how both artists and designers use art media to create meaning. Projects we work on include: Identity tessellations, 3-D object design, collaborative comics, Surrealism paintings, and clay metamorphosis creations. |
