6th Grade & ART I

The program consists of a general introduction to design, drawing, sculpture, painting, art history, printing and a variety of art forms. The course includes an orientation in the use of a variety media and the basic skills essential in use of each. The first semester begins with a focus on the Elements of Art while the second semester focuses on the Principles of Design. Students will begin each class with a drawing warm-up, reflection, vocabulary, or creativity exercise. A test will be given at the end of each six weeks period. A field trip to the Dallas Museum of Art in the fall will allow students to apply aesthetic concepts they have learned in the classroom in a real-world environment.

ART II

The intent of this program is to refine art skills developed in Art I. The class is composed of a selected group of students exhibiting exceptional talents in the field of art. Emphasis will be placed on developing drawing, painting and sculpting skills, creativity and individual style. At this level, the projects and historical studies are designed to build self-awareness and confidence through analysis, individual expression, symbolism and production. Students will begin each class with a drawing warm-up, reflection, vocabulary, or creativity exercise. A test will be given at the end of each six weeks period. A field trip to the Dallas Museum of Art in the fall will allow students to apply aesthetic concepts they have learned in the classroom in a real-world environment.
