Art

In Grade 6, the students attend art class twice a week. The program includes more demanding and challenging art assignments than in the previous year; emphasis is placed on the procedure and planning of these assignments. Students progress with increased understanding of the complexities of direct observation drawing, two-point perspective, three-dimensional form making, carved relief and printmaking. They are exposed to more in-depth art terminology, art history, and concept application. Through the use of interdisciplinary units, students explore imagery specific to historical cultures from around the world.
