Ms. Starr's SVMS Art Studio
Ms. Starr's Art Studio at South Valley Middle School is set up to be a choice based, TAB classroom. Students will be introduced to various art medias set up as centers in the art room by completing small directed projects. After students complete the introduction projects, the center is open for them to use in more complex projects. This allows the students to have choice in the materials and/or topics. Students are expected to work independently and appropriately in this type of environment.
