At the sixth grade level, the art program introduces students to the art of drawing. Students are led to understand the connection between learning how to see and learning how to draw. Gesture drawings bring students to understand the work of artist like Edgar Degas. The students create sculptures that reflect the human form in motion. Students explore the world of animator, creating animations from drawings, cut-outs, computer generated, and pixilation.
Students create compositions where perspective and depth are sought.
At the sixth grade level, students again choose between Band and General Music. In Band, students strengthen their skills at their instrument, play as an ensemble, play at pep rallies and games, and perform various concerts throughout the year. In General Music, students strengthen their listening skills, learn important musical terms, and study the history of classical music and rock and roll. The Old Testament and the Hebrew Biblical Tradition are the basis for the sixth grade curriculum. Students learn that it is in the study of the Hebrew Scriptures that we find the roots of our Christian faith tradition.
