The middle school visual arts program stimulates and encourages creativity, builds confidence in technical abilities, and provides students with a solid foundation in the elements and principles of art. Students develop skills in each medium through age-appropriate projects that build upon what students have learned in the previous years as they advance from 5th through 8th grades. The halls of the middle school continually display student artwork. All students keep sketchbooks to develop artistic habits of continual practice and experience a variety of media. Middle school artists are encouraged to
explore, make decisions, take risks, and think critically.
