Art education in Fairfax County Public Schools is a core discipline, essential to the growth and development of all students. The sequential art curriculum is based in the four disciplines:

The curriculum is designed to develop content knowledge and skills in the following areas:
- recognition of the role and importance of art and artists in society, culture, and history
- critical assessment of art works from aesthetic and cultural perspectives
- creative problem solving
- technical processes
- personal expression through art production.
Art instruction in Fairfax County Public Schools provides an environment which offers challenges to all students, builds on individual differences, and provides means by which students may express themselves and develop positive self concepts.
This year, 8th grade
students will participate in a program that has an emphasis
on the use of computers in art. They will be incorporating the use of
technology
in their work by using the new 20 station art lab and peripheral equipment.
