The Revere Visual Arts Program offers Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced and High School Art I courses. Art students will develop an understanding of the creative processes including:

Elements of Art
Principles of Design
Reflection
Critique
Appreciation of Art History

Our students learn about art through the creation of two-dimensional and three-dimensional work and by experiencing the hands-on creative process in many different forms. We will also examine the arts from various cultures and historical periods. Student artwork will reflect aesthetics and cultural / historical contexts. Although art students' talent and previous experiences are important, showing sustained effort and the willingness to get involved in the creative process is a more important requirement. Our goal is to help students develop a strong foundation in the basics of art making as well as the means with which to think and talk about art.

***Revere Middle School is a candidate school for the Middle Year Program (MYP) of the International Baccalaureate Program. In MYP arts students have opportunities to function as artists, as well as learners of the arts.

The aims of MYP arts are to encourage and enable students to:

• create and present art

• develop skills specific to the discipline

• engage in a process of creative exploration and (self-)discovery

• make purposeful connections between investigation and practice

• understand the relationship between art and its contexts

• respond to and reflect on art

• deepen their understanding of the world.

The objectives of arts in the program encompass the factual, conceptual, procedural, and metacognitive dimensions of knowledge. These objectives include: knowing & understanding, developing skills, thinking creatively, and responding.
