During the school year the Art program strives to involve students in various art processes and to inform students of the individuals who make contributions to the Visual Arts.
Art is an integral part of a child's development. One learns to draw and form schematic ideas (pictures associated with objects, words, and feelings) before one learns to read and write.

What makes the curriculum so interesting is the involvement of different cultures, histories, and artists, and discussion and critique of our artwork and the artwork of others. The Art room as an academic, as well as creative, environment is always emphasized! Students are constantly learning and growing through a holistic, well-rounded experience.
