The purpose of this course is designed for students desiring to go beyond the basics.
The artistic expression of 6 through 8 graders becomes more individualistic. They will be exposed to problem solving
activities that develop fine motor and cognitive skills. Students will gain an understanding of ceramic techniques and processes. This course develops the basic skills for hand-building and wheel throwing creative and functional pieces. Drawing techniques are mastered in order to establish unity of message or idea. The goal is to encourage each student to explore their own unique talents and share them freely with their fellow classmates; to promote an appreciation of self and others and to find God in the beauty of each other as well as their awesome creations.
"Artist of the Quarter" framing program. It is the vision of the art department to have one piece of art work custom matted, framed, and labeled with a brass plate for every student. The vision is shared by all students 'feeling of pride in seeing their classmates' pictures displayed in the hallways, parents and community members fund the program by shopping with our business partner framer. The student has the choice to take their picture upon graduation or donating it to the school.
