This course is an introduction to the fine arts. The objectives of this course are to acquaint students with the elements and principles of design, encourage experimentation with variety of art mediums, foster confidence through an emphasis on process rather than outcome, and increase student knowledge of art history, criticism, and aesthetics. Students will begin the school year with basic two-dimensional projects, allowing them to build a strong foundation, and end the year with three-dimensional projects, thus challenging their knowledge of the material.   6th Grade Art Gallery
