GRADE 8 OVERVIEW
Students in 8th Grade art classes will use drawing, metal embossing, mixed media, painting and sculpting techniques to further explore the elements of art: space, line, color, shape, form, value and texture. They will learn how artists use the Principles of Design: balance, unity, emphasis, pattern, contrast, rhythm, and movement to organize the Elements to create works of art. They will select and exhibit their work in the school and community and write about the Elements of Art and the Principles of Design they used in their work and the works of famous artists.
