2D Art (Studio Art)
Grade 6
On this course, students incorporate a wide range of media and techniques. I incorporate technique and historical relevance to the study of art. Additionally, students will look at art as a way to communicate ideas, advertise, and express feelings that otherwise could not be communicated verbally. Student artists create two-dimensional works, which may include drawing, painting, printmaking, and/or collage.
Studio Art 2

Students investigate a wide range of media and techniques, from both an historical and contemporary perspective, as they engage in the art-making process.
