7th Grade Art
Course Goals:
Making art is a joyful activity. Often, self-criticism can interfere with that joy, especially during adolescence, when a child is developing her image of herself as an artist. My primary goal for my students is for art to remain a joyful experience through adolescence and throughout life. I believe that a curriculum that includes a balance between critical skills and a supportive environment is key to keeping art making a positive experience. In my program, while we learn how to analyze images, the emphasis is on exploring new media, building skills and confidence and developing personal vision. An environment where each girl feels the freedom to express her own creativity without fear of judgment is essential to building a positive self-image as an artist. The girls learn that every artist has a unique perspective and each will express her view of the world in a unique way. The art program at GMS provides both skills and confidence for girls to appreciate and enjoy making art throughout their lives.
