During Wellesley Middle school years, 8th grade students are given the choice of several electives within the visual art dept.  This allows students interested in art to choose a specific art material they would like to concentrate on.  For Digital Art students, they will be challenged to explore further with computers and software programs as their primary art material.  Students will be introduced to Photoshop and learn how to alter hand drawn artwork and\/or computer based found imagery to explore their creativity.   Students will also begin to understand how advertising  and marketing can be used in the real world as a selling component for products and consumerism.  By the end of the course, students will have a strong foundation of elements and principles of art within this 2D format to bring to the next level if they so choose to continue their studies of visual art at the high school level.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
