Art can inspire students to create and express themselves in a variety of forms. It provides the spark that keeps children engaged and allows them to have fun while exploring the world beyond just a paintbrush. Students develop creativity, problem solving skills, improved judgement, and how to appreciate & understand multiple perspectives. We include art in our curriculum because we understand these important life skills are important in a child’s development.
Elementary
- Develop their drawing ability
- Know the key art movements
- Learn the color theory
- Explore mixed media
- Improve figure drawing
- Improve painting skills
Students will learn to use art tools and materials safely and independently, become confident with a wide variety of art techniques, express ideas independently or collaboratively as a group, and learn to appreciate all stages of the creative process. Our hope is to create a foundation and love for art for years to come.
