Children will have used and learned a variety of artistic techniques and processes in elementary school.

By the time students reach middle school, they will be expected to understand a widening variety of different techniques, which may have been learned and developed through sessions aimed at experimentation.
A firm grasp of different techniques and an understanding of when they may be appropriate will help a developing artist create work which is creative, appropriate and stimulating. A willingness to push boundaries, blend unusual media and challenge traditional techniques is what has helped the visual arts develop and evolve over time. In order to do this, however, all artists must first develop a good understanding of the wide variety of techniques available to them.
