General Information on Advanced Arts

 

Who: Sixth through eighth graders may try out for Advanced Arts at the beginning of each school year. Students are selected based on a “Creativity Test.” Approximately thirty to forty students are selected each year.

 

What is the Creativity Test?: Students are given two types of characters, two random objects, and a setting. They are asked to incorporate all these elements in one drawing. Students are expected to draw big and lightly. The drawing should tell a story/have a focal point. Students are judged by art technique, and the creative concept.

 

When: Members will meet every Monday after school from 3:20-4:20 pm.
