"Artistic creativity is a whirlpool of imagination that swirls in the depths of the mind."

Robert Toth

Here at Moose Lake we offer 3 courses( High School) in the Fine Arts(Drawing, Painting and Ceramics) and 3 courses in the Media arts(Photography, Graphic Design and Video Production). 

We also offer K-6th grade elementary Art. Mrs. DeYoung  is also another Art Specialist who teaches elementary art.

Elementary art is offered once a week on a 7 day rotation

Courses required  are 7th and 8th grade Art.

From 9th -12th the courses are electives. Students will need  1 credit in the Fine Arts to graduate(this includes choir and band)

All High School electives are offered by Trimester 

Trimester 1: Drawing and Photography

Trimester 2: Graphic Design and Video Production

Trimester 3: Painting and Ceramics

All electives  have a prerequisite of Drawing I which is given to the 8th grade students.7th grade art is now Art Fundamentals and a precursor to Drawing I. 

Grading:  Students are graded on participation and assignments. 50/50. Participation is based on being a community  student. Students are responsible for returning supplies or materials to their locations,  attendance (unexcused will be a  loss of points)cleaning up after themselves, and hard work. Students are given their participation points ahead of time. It is their responsibility to keep their points(just like a job, performance based)  Assignments are based on the objective, creativity, quality and  how well did they meet the objective/goal of the lesson.
