In grades 1-3, we spend time on art production through line, shape, color, etc. The focus is on elements and principles of design. Classroom time is one hour and 15 minutes each week.
In grades 4-6, art is focused on art production centered curriculum. We spend two months in each of the following areas:
- Drawing
- Painting
- Print Making
- Ceramics
We spend one month on sculpture. Classroom time is one hour and a half each week.
One other important aspect in art is helping kids learn how to defend their work and build confidence in talking about their art. Our art teacher focuses on this throughout all grade levels.
Each spring we host an Art Show where every student has six to twelve pieces of art on display. The show lasts approximately four days and is open to the public.
Art Enrichment is another program we use with grades K-6. Each year a different period of art is brought to life and kids learn the history of famous artists as well as trying the artist's style with their own personal flair. Adult volunteers are trained to facilitate this program.
