Visual Arts

Primary students experience art on a daily basis in the classroom. Lessons are taught in various ways, incorporating many elements of visual art, such as drawing, coloring, cutting, and crafting special projects, that all are interrelated with their specific educational lesson. 

Beginning in Elementary I, students delve into art by learning proper handling and care of the mediums utilized. They build confidence by recreating famous artworks while adding their own twist. Hands-on projects and guided group practices show students how the mediums used can change the way a work of art is interpreted. They can then begin to create their own sense of self within their works.

In Elementary II, students dive further into this journey by examining different art movements and applying their foundational knowledge into their interpretations. Students integrate their own artistry by creating real-life studies in the style of the movements discussed.

The Middle School curriculum continues to supplement this creativity and confidence by allowing students to encompass all foundations and principles learned to create larger, independent works. Students are encouraged to create works that express their own observations and inspirations while learning to accept and provide constructive critiques.
