Elective Students (6th-8th Grade): Please check our Teams Page for project assignments.
A little bit about Art Class:
Kindergarten through Fifth grade students come to create once every six days! As budding artists, we explore drawing, painting, printmaking, clay, sculpture, fiber arts and more!
Sixth through Eighth graders who choose Art as an elective come to create every morning for a full semester! As young artists we explore drawing, painting, printmaking, clay, sculpture, fiber arts, digital arts, graphic design and animation. Students can choose from either a traditional Art Elective or a Digital Art and Design Elective.
Here on my website...
