    The goal of this seventh grade art course:

     Develop the students ability to look at and understand art.  
    Develop confidence looking, talking, making, and appreciating the visual arts. 
    Develop connections to other cultures and the past through art.
    Develop skills that we attribute to artists such as using a variety of art materials safely, learning how to care for them, thinking critically, asking questions, and solving problems.
      Develop an appreciation for life and the human spirit through the study of art..
    Develop art skills associated with expressing oneself with materials and experimentation.
    Developing skills to cope with embracing successes and failures.

     

    Supply List for the course

     Pencil

    Paper

    Black Pen

    The following would be great but are not mandatory. These are items students traditionally would have in the art room and share but due to COVID-19 we will not be able to share these items when we do return to school. Most of them you probably have from previous classes:)  Again not necessary now. If you cannot find these items or afford to purchase them send me an email and I will see what I can do to help you.

    Scissor

    Glue stick

    Colored pencils

    Small watercolor set

    Oil pastels set of 12
