Welcome to the website for DeWitt Middle School's art studio in Ithaca New York, promoting project-based studio work emphasizing creativity and life-long learning through the design process. Check out the daily sketchbook assignments, project guidelines and rubrics, student artwork, art tips, events and inspirational videos related to techniques, movements or just plain cool stuff!
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.
