The K-4 art program is designed to provide
children with the opportunity to create. The art
program is offered as a means of self-expression
which provides for an outlet of ideas, emotion, and
creative energy. It develops a perceptual awareness
and discrimination which helps our students gain an
appreciation of our environment and the quality of
life. The art program also develops manipulative
and technical skills in a wide range of media.
Students participate in weekly lessons that are
a minimum of 40 minutes in duration. Reinforcement
of skills takes place in the general classrooms
through interest corners at the primary level and
special projects for older students. Such projects
include dioramas, models, scenic design, posters,
etc. The regular display of student work in
classrooms, corridors, and local establishments
provides a vehicle for communicating individual and
collective talents.
Art education is comprised of two aspects --
encouraging appreciation and developing skills.
Included in the K-4 program are: printing,
sculpture, weaving, painting, stitchery, drawing,
puppetry, and dyeing. Each skill area is enriched
by utilizing a variety of techniques. As an
example: printing encompasses work with strings,
potatoes, linoleum, and wood. Elements of design,
color sense, use of tools, and art history are
aspects that are considered in a multi-level
fashion.
