Students will gain a visual vocabulary that they will be asked to write in a daily art sketchbook. In addition, art history, art criticism, and aesthetics will be explored in the various units of study. While the sixth grade program is an introduction to art, the seventh and eighth year programs are designed to continually develop the artistic skills of the students. Units may vary from quarter to quarter. Materials:Students are required to have several wooden pencils and their agenda every day. It is not required, but students may also want to bring their own pencil sharpener and colored pencils to class each day as well.
