Studio Art

Studio Art's curriculum is designed to prepare students for future art classes and hopefully an art career.

These classes meet 40 minutes a day for the entire school year.  We focus on drawing, painting, and creative problem solving.  The following is a list of some of our projects:

Painting:  designing and painting large scale murals

Drawing:  creating accurate self portraits, using our right brain to "draw what we see", discovering blind-contour and gesture drawing

Photography:  during this unit art students will build a pin hole camera using an oatmeal box.  They will then take pictures, and develop them in a real dark room. 

Batik:  We will create wax, tempera, and glue batiks

Printing:  this unit will allow us to carve linoleum blocks and create multiple prints.  The students will also learn how to number their prints. 

Computer Design:  We will learn the basics of Photo Shop Elements, and create our own Photo Stories.
