District Theme: EVERY DAY COUNTS!
WELCOME TO Ms. Obduski-Giordano's ART CLASS!
I teach 6th, 7th and 8th grade Art...
If you need to contact me, please email me at tobduski-giordano@htsdnj.org
I am looking forward to a great year where students will create 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional artwork using a variety of materials and techniques. These will include colored pencils, chalk & oil pastels, acrylic & watercolor paint, plaster, printmaking, wire sculpture and more!
Middle School Art courses reinforce the fundamentals of drawing, painting, sculpture, aesthetics and critique.
6th & 7th Grade Art Curriculum Overview: A day one and day two schedule all year
Students experience the production of art using a variety of media and techniques to create, perform, analyze and respond. Students will also understand the cultural dimensions and contributions of the arts. Students will create art including the Elements of Art and Principles of Design.
8th Grade Art Elective Curriculum Overview: Every day all year schedule
This course provides experience in a variety of media, subject matter, techniques, design theory, and art history. Art Elective is designed to expand the students' knowledge, abilities and critical judgement as well as introduce new media and skills. The elective course will draw from themes explored in each of the previous middle school art courses and serve as a culminating experience for the students, combining multiple themes and ideas in the creation and exploration of art. Students will create art including the Elements of Art and Principles of Design.
