Calling all 7th graders! Are you interested in taking a yearlong, high school credit art class in 8th grade? See Mrs. Waller or Mrs. Booe today for an application. All applications are due April 1st!
The Cobb County School District allows a one-year visual arts comprehensive course to be offered to talented visual arts students entering eighth grade. This course is yearlong and will be taught during one of your child’s current connections class periods. Students who successfully complete the year of high school art in middle school may begin studio art courses in high school. Upon completion, one high school credit will be awarded. A numerical grade will be recorded each semester on the middle school report card.
The opportunity to study visual arts at the high school level in middle school is exciting! This course adds to your child’s workload and requires daily application, a sketchbook and a digital portfolio maintained in and out of school. Successful students need to be highly motivated in the visual arts, know how to plan their time efficiently, and stay the course.
