Paul Revere Middle School

• Art I, Beginning Level

 

In Art 1, students will learn about the basics, including the elements of art and the principles of design. Students will learn to draw, to manipulate various 2-D media, color theory and the process of art criticism.  All future learning in the Visual Art Program builds from this initial and foundational class.

​

​

• Art II and III - Intermediate Level

​

Students in Intermediate Art classes will continue to refer back to their foundational skills and build upon them further by developing their individual styles, establishing a portfolio of work in a wider array of mediums and studying art history and criticism. 

​

​

• Art II and III - Advanced Level

 

Students in Advanced Level Art classes will vary from Intermediate Art classes only in that the rigor and production expectations will be greater.  Students in Advanced Levels should expect to spend a significant amount of time working outside of regular school hours if their hope is to develop a portfolio of work for application to a fine arts high school.
