ACT II Program

Overview of ACT II Art Class:

The ACT II Art class will require all students to attend scheduled sessions beyond the regular curriculum. This class will allow students to explore various artistic mediums, develop their skills, and create unique projects. Each student will receive a grade based on their participation and progress in this class, which will contribute to their overall academic record.

Class Requirements:

• Mandatory Attendance: All students must attend each scheduled ACT II Art class.
• Grading: Participation, effort, and completed projects will be graded.
• Course Content: Students will explore different techniques in drawing, painting, sculpture, and mixed media, culminating in a showcase of their work at the end of the term.

We believe that this initiative will not only enhance students’ artistic skills but also encourage self-expression and collaboration. Our goal is to create an inspiring environment where students can thrive creatively.

Act II Art

Grades 6-8 ACT II Art is a course designed to expand visual art to students who are not able to fit art into their normal school day.  Students from all grades and skill levels are welcome to join the course.  ACT II is available in the fall (semester 1) and spring (semester 2).  Attendance and grades will be a part of the course. The ACT II art course will introduce various art mediums and techniques.  Students will be engaged with many forms of art making including drawing, painting, and sculpture.  This class will strive to expose students to mediums that are not commonly used within the school day art course; such as charcoal, glass fusion, and ink.
