The staff of the Centennial Middle School Art Department strives to develop dynamic curriculum that meets the needs and interests of students. We explore a variety of artistic styles and design while developing projects using various mediums: paint, marker, colored pencil, pastels, collage, jewelry, creative masks, book making, air brush and kiln fired clay sculpture. Students begin using the language of art: elements and principles to make aesthetic decisions in creating their work. They explore the relationship between art history, culture and our society.
