       The elementary art program enriches the entire curriculum in so many ways. 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 art class 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.
    • Learn to more effectively use their senses to explore the world.
    • Use both verbal and nonverbal methods to express abstract ideas and emotions.
    • Learn to trust their 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.
