6th Grade Art Course Description

Sixth grade art is a semester long class in which students learn about art, artists, and pop culture while creating both two-dimensional and three-dimensional projects using media such as paint, color pencil, collage, watercolors, ceramic clay, polymer clay, paper mache, fibers, recycled items, and scratchboard. Students also practice talking about art critically and expressing their individuality in a safe environment. Other academic disciplines are integrated into art lessons. Careers that require creativity, problem solving, and technical abilities are also explored.
