7th Grade Art meets for tHIRTEEN consecutive weeks. Students work in the four processes of art: creating, presenting, responding and connecting. Knowledge and skills learned and practiced in earlier grades are built upon resulting in art activities that are designed to promote learning through discovery and personal responsibility for learning. Art class is designed to develop the student’s 21st century readiness skills: creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration.
Repousse Birds and Fish
Repousse is a French word, meaning to push out and refers to the technique of hitting metal from the front and back to produce detailed sculptural relief. Our class worked with fine gauge sheet metal to create these impressive bas relief pieces.

A Day in the Life of an Apple
Seventh grade artists worked hard to render these apple progressions in colored pencil. They had to pay careful attention to the play of light and shadow on their chosen fruit and translate all that information into color. What a feat!
