8th Grade Art Class Q2 - Rowan’s Advocacy

Course Description

8th Grade art class includes lessons and instruction during class as well as outside work on projects. Students will be learning aspects of art history and create work inspired by it (Example: Monet Paintings). They will be learning about the elements of art and principles of design and incorporating them into artwork (Example: 3D Words in Perspective). I also believe in freedom of artistic expression so there will be projects in which are meant for self-expression, giving the students full control of their creative ideas. (Example: Mixed Media Animals) There will also be instruction on different mediums and learning to use them.

We meet on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s from 1:45 – 2:15 pm.
