For 6th, 7th and 8th graders, art class is an introduction to the elements and principles of art in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional formats. And each fall our Middle School artists take over the McCleary Gallery to show their peers and visitors the skills they have developed since the beginning of the year. From self-portraits to sculpture, every project helps our students learn to communicate their unique creative ideas and make broader connections to the world around them.
Featured Projects
Because we can't bring visitors onto Teel Campus this year, we are bringing the Middle School Art Show to you! Featured projects in the show include:
6th Grade: Self-portraits with pencil, colored pencil, and paper featuring sunglasses that reflect something joyful
7th Grade: Animal-themed printmaking with linoleum and ink; radial symmetry studies with colored pencil, pencil, and paper
8th Grade: Maryland-themed sculpture made with air dry clay and painted
Stay tuned for more from our Middle School artists through the winter and spring. We can’t wait to see what they’ll do next!
