Welcome

The smART studio at DeWitt Middle School emphasizes three main tenets; creating and learning through design process thinking (studio habits of mind), thoughtful verbal and written reflection on Visual Language and it's conversation with the self and humanity, and connections between each other and the world outside our school environment.

So, find your interest and feed the curiosity! Investigate, explore, sketch, create, review, revise, inspire, be inspired and create again. The cycle of learning—the cycle of design—is more than a privilege, it's the pathway to understanding. Through the Arts we cultivate self-directed, self-motivated habits of mind that lead us through a life-long pursuit of learning and participating in society.

Typography

Eight grade students did an awesome job with their first photoshop project, Type as Image! Below, students used Photoshop type tools to manipulate size, color, font, orientation, and scale. With type as their medium instead of paint or oil pastels, students created images of objects that hold personal meaning to their lives.
