      The Sixth Grade Art Curriculum sets the stage for the Middle School and
High School Art programs.Students make the transition from having art
once a week throughout the year in Elementary school,
to having art every day for an intense 10-week period.

      Students are challenged with a high level of critical thinking through a variety
of projects, which are designed to introduce students to the language of the arts.
Each project exposes students to new vocabulary, well-known artists, and new skills.
Students assess themselves upon completion of each project and class art critiques
are also an essential component. Stories from life experiences become works of art.
