5th-6th Art/STEAM
Middle School artists are building upon foundational methods of making while using materials in both new and familiar ways. We are refining motor skills through creation and communication; students will be learning some American Sign Language as well! Through focusing on safety, self-discipline, and emotional control, Middle School artists are able to begin using more complex tools and technology in constructing both 2-D and 3-D art. Additionally, students are synthesizing the creative process with problem solving and critical thinking skills to figure out how to ideate a project and actualize it. Utilizing lectures, discussions, first hand experience, and student-driven research, we will be learning about typifying artists and their work alongside periods in art history. Our Middle School students are already making fantastic work, and we have a marvelous year ahead of us!
