Art builds on previously acquired skills, introduces new techniques and media, and develops freedom of self-expression in each student. A wide variety of projects are included in the art program and a range of media and forms may be used within each category. We feature different artists' works throughout the year, followed by a class discussion and often a project inspired by that artist. Some projects revolve around other classroom curriculum.
Curricular goals include:
• encouraging creative expression
• improving upon artistic skills
• introducing basic art history and art appreciation
• experiencing visual excitement
