Grade 7       

Experiments in Art

Art students participate in both individual and group art activities with emphasis on process rather than on product. Creativity and problem-solving skills are developed through a variety of projects. Students will also gain an understanding of the elements of design (line, form, texture, shape, and value). Each trimester a relevant period of art history will be explored and used to inspire artwork.
