Middle School

Visual art is an important part of a student’s education. It gives them a voice to express themselves and offers a window into cultures and ideas that they may not ever explore on their own. Brandywine School District offers a robust Visual Arts program that exposes students to makers, processes, and ideas and encourages students to create exhibition-worthy artwork of their own. At the middle school level, students take a class as part of their regular schedule. They experiment with a variety of materials and study different cultures and artists. They are exposed to painting, printmaking, sculpture, collage, and drawing. They master the fundamentals of art such as line, shape, color, value, and texture. With each unit, students are encouraged to expand on their concepts by incorporating personal experiences. Cross-curricular lessons are integrated throughout the year.
