7th and 8th Grade Syllabus

Here is a preliminary syllabus for 7th & 8th grade art, just to give you an idea of what we're going to be doing this year. Projects and order are subject to change, but this should let you know kind of what you're in for. Also, I need all 6th, 7th, and 8th grade art students to obtain a 9x12 sketchbook.
