8th grade students attend art exploratory as a block of two periods for 30 days. The emphasis in 8th grade is on the study of aesthetics using the 4 steps applied in both art criticism and art history - describing, analyzing, interpreting and judging. Students will be introduced to various artists of different time periods and different styles. Students will study how these differences will affect aesthetic points of view.
All Exploratories are graded as pass/fail with (outstanding, satisfactory, unsatisfactory) as the recorded grade.
Annual Student Art Show
Each year the Middle School Students exhibit a selection of the art works which were created throughout the school year. The event takes place during the month of April of each school year. Please, check your school calendar for this popular annual event. Your help and support is appreciated by all!
Students with participation in art exploratory will create a work of art that will be published onto a notecard. The image can be printed onto other usable items such as mousepads, cups, T-shirts, etc, . The order forms will go home with participating students in April. Monies raised from this fundraiser benefit the PTSO.
