Course Description:
Along with the Lower Moreland Township School District Art Curriculum, and the Pennsylvania State Standards, 7th Grade art this year will build on concepts learned in Kindergarten through 6th grades. Use of
the elements and principles of design to create successful works of art will be reinforced.
This year will be spent studying LINE; one of the most significant building blocks of all works of art. We will look at how lines are all around us, creating shapes, value, perspective & depth. We will
create projects based on inspiration from various countries around the world.
Assessment:Grades will be based on:
•Successful completion of all major assignments.
•Handouts
