Middle School Art at Northshore is a safe place to relax, reflect, renew the mind, and explore basic art skills, styles, and mediums. Each day begins with a journal entry from the Bible, to feed the greatness and beauty inside of each artist. Each person learns to pay attention to the small things that make up a drawing: lines, circles, dots, curves, and angles by drawing upside-down. Students learn how to see edges, or contours, and to capture spatial relationships using perspective and proportion. Artists replicate lights and shadows in black and white, and also in color. They learn to add emotion and meaning to their artwork by using color and line in unique ways and by imitating master artists. Our focus covers art principles and techniques, and we emphasize self-evaluation and goal setting. Student input influences the projects selected for each year. Get ready to draw and paint, to be challenged, and to grow!
Our graphic arts program inspires students to see and appreciate God’s design and beauty in all creation. Each class focuses on the elements and principles of design. Different artists, styles, and techniques are introduced and discussed. Students create a variety of original works using multiple mediums.
NCA uses the ‘Meet the Masters’ K-5th Art Curriculum Exploring 35 Master Artists.
