The
Merrol Hyde Magnet High School Art Department is led by
Sonya Coley. The program includes various types of art including
drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture. A “B” average in
Art I is required to enter advanced art courses.
Visual Art I: introduces the
language of visual arts, art history, art criticism, and art
production. The course relies on hands on learning experiences,
production, written assignments, and tests.
Visual Art II: expands on art
experiences introduced in Art I. Emphasis will be placed on
aesthetic appreciation and the continued studio experience in a
variety of media.
Visual Art III: expands on the
student’s knowledge and understanding of various art media and
styles. Students will be introduced to problem solving projects
while spending more time on new methods and materials.
Visual Art IV: students will be
expected to demonstrate advanced level skills in drawing,
painting, printmaking, and sculpture. Emphasis will be placed on
finding unique individual solutions to creative art problems.
MHMS Middle School Art is also led
by Sonya Coley. The program prepares students for high school
Art I. The Elements and Principles of Design are a major
emphasis while students produce many forms of Art. Line, shape,
form, value, color, space, and texture are the focus in 6th
and 7th grade. 8th grade students
incorporate principles of design such as dominance, balance,
focal point, proportion and contrast.
