Middle School Art Department
Here at the middle school we house grades 5th-8th. During the 2015-2106 school year 5th grade has art 3 times a week for the entire year. The majority of 6th and 8th grades are divided by half year courses, having art once or twice a week. 7th grade classes that have art are scheduled for various times during the week. Please see below for curriculum.
We strive to instill a life long love of art and to possibly create future career artists.
