What to Know About Music and Art Classes

Jack Donahue, Contributor, 6th grade

As the second quarter is ending, many sixth graders are wondering the tips and tricks of music and art classes as they transition periods. Here is what to know about the two classes and how to maybe get an A+ on the final grade. 

Art

Art is a challenging class even if you enjoy making it. Because something has to count toward your grade. Behavior and listening is a big part of the class, you are graded on it each quarter. In order to get a few extra points, be very well behaved, many art students have gotten extra credit because they received eleven or twelve out of ten points in their grade. In conclusion, art class is not just about art, it is also important to listen, participate and try hard at the end of project Google Forms and the rest of the class. 

Art requires you to be creative, so always make sure you think about your project idea hard. Not doing so and procrastinating like any class is not good. There is no homework but you will have to work on unfinished assignments in a study hall or Academy, so use your time wisely. 

If you have art in room 117, after lunch or a music class, one of the hardest parts of the class is being on time. The best thing to do is not go to your locker before and after lunch and the music class. Bring your stuff so you can go up the red stairs in the cafeteria or band hall with a pep in your step and try your hardest to get to class on time. Once you do so, get your table prepared, put your stuff in a place without any other art projects from other grades and leave it there. Lastly, listen to the teacher carefully and always submit your assignments on time, these steps will help you survive art, even if you hate it. 

Music

Music will usually be in the band hall so you probably won’t be late. The people from your art class will be in your music class so don’t think you’ll be away from them forever, there is also a quiz. Additionally, music is a graded class like a language. The music curriculum includes Chuck Berry and Elvis Presely. Many people enjoy the class and always talk about how much they learned. There are also projects and fun activities. A big part of the end of music is to learn how to play the guitar. Many students comment how much they enjoy guitar as well. 

 

Overall music and art are both great classes no matter the room, teacher, or curriculum.
