Art Curriculum:

Our art curriculum at all levels is organized around three interrelated themes: Looking at Art, Exploration of Media and Techniques, and Creating Art.

Looking at Art includes exposure to the works of great artists, both contemporary and old masters, as well as the development of artistic styles and periods.
Exploration of Media and Techniques involves learning, through experimentation, to manipulate form and color using a wide variety of materials, tools, and techniques in drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, weaving, and construction.
Creating Art provides students with the opportunity for self-expression and the development of perceptual awareness as they experience making creative choices, problem solving, and using artistic skills in each project assigned.

The Elements of Art: line, color, texture, value, shape, and space and the Principles of Design: balance, harmony, composition, rhythm, emphasis, and unity are fully integrated into the weekly art lessons.
