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 Drawing and Painting students, they will be challenged to explore further with quick gestural sketches, to realistic observational drawing, to understanding the value and tonal aspects of color in painting techniques.  By the end of the course, students will have a strong foundation of elements and principles of art within a 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
