8th Grade Art

8TH GRADE ART

This course focuses mainly on art production, art aesthetics, and art criticism. Art reinforces their prior knowledge of ceramics and clay building skills, painting skills, and drawing skills. Students are introduced to new terminology, skills, and technology during the units. Art history is included weekly so students can focus on aesthetics and learn constructive ways to critique major pieces of art (art criticism). The projects created in 8th grade are:

Hand Pattern Ink Design

Clay Theme Boxes 

Album/Book Cover with a section devoted to Art Careers

Wall Mural Design

Pointillism Paintings inspired by Georges Seurat

Andy Warhol Celebrity Design

*Grades will be updated every Thursday.
