The Elementary Art Program enriches the entire elementary curriculum. There are four components that create a quality program. They are: Aesthetic Perception, Art Criticism, Art History and Culture and Art Production and Creative Expression. These four components will be part of our art classes and will provide a strong connection to curriculum integration. At each grade level, students will:

Practice problem solving and critical thinking.
Learn about history and culture through art.
Learning to use senses more effectively to explore the world.
Use both verbal and nonverbal methods to express abstract ideas and emotions.
Learn to trust and develop creative intelligence.
Learn concepts and techniques that will give them control of the visual images they produce.
Learn to identify aesthetic qualities in a variety of artwork and in the environment.
Learn the language of visual art so that they have a precise vocabulary in which to express their ideas.
