Welcome to Art!

Welcome to a new school year at Harper Park!

Each grade level of art studies the following areas of Production:  Drawing
                                                                                                                                 Graphic Design
                                                                                                                                 Painting

We incorporate Art History, Criticism & Judgement, and Aesthetics so our students can enhance their "Portrait of a Graduate".  We incorporate the 5 C's: Critical Thinking, Creativity, Collaboration, Communication, and Contributions.
                               
You are encouraged to read our curriculum on the LCPS website. 



We have artwork displayed in the hallways, bulletin boards, and showcases.  We will be having a Heritage High School Cluster Exhibit in February.  There is more information to follow.

6th Grade Art Semester Plan

The Semester Plan for 6th Grade Art will be adapted to the format and limitations of Distance Learning.

First quarter, we will focus on drawing skills: drawing from observation, contour line drawing, and pencil shading. We will also be working on developing our ideas through Art, and sharing our work using an online interface. Color Theory will be introduced once color materials become available and are distributed to students.
