Middle School 艺术

Annie Wright believes ALL of our students can 和 must create—和 we offer a range of opportunities for every student to practice, 分析, 想象一下, design 和 perform.
The art facilities in the Middle School are second to none, with multiple dedicated music rooms, an impressive 350 seat 剧院, 和 a recently renovated art room 和 pottery studio. Art classes 通过out the 三个 years of middle school are structured to give exposure to music, 剧院, 和 visual arts, while also allowing students to develop interests 和 skills they may already have. 

Students in Grades 6 和 7 follow a rotation of art classes that includes Strings, 剧院, 和 Visual 艺术. In the final quarter of 7th grade, students embark on a collaborative project combining the skills gained in these performing 和 visual arts classes.

In 8年级, the focus is split between a more in-depth dive into Visual 艺术 和 on music creation 和 appreciation in General Music. Both art classes focus on the connections to our journey to Costa Rica, bringing the art they learn alive during our eight day adventure. 看到 Middle School academic pages for detailed descriptions of arts courses in the 项目 curriculum.

If music is your passion, in addition to the regular arts classes, students may choose to participate in orchestra or rock b和, before 和 after school, 和 during clubs. Members of these groups perform at several school 和 outside functions 通过out the year. Annie Wright also offers private lessons for an additional fee to all interested students. Lessons are available in many instruments including a variety of strings, 钢琴, 鼓, 吉他, 和 voice. Music recitals provide a great opportunity for students to demonstrate their musical 和 performing skills.

Annie Wright Middle School also offers additional art 和 剧院 experiences beyond the regular 项目 classes. During the school day, students may elect to attend our Visual Art club to work with paint, clay or glass mediums. After school, students may audition for a role in one of numerous 剧院 productions. Those interested in behind the scenes - stage management, costume or set design - are also welcome to develop their talents as support crew.
