Art
Students engage in studio art using a modern art timeline paired with hands-on and project-based learning experiences. Each student is given the opportunity to self-select materials of choice in the studio and choose how they want to include them for each project. Activities using the elements of art and the principles of design are explored, and as the school year continues, students utilize with higher-order thinking in the art room. Each child is given multiple entry-points tailored to their individual learning modality utilizing creative art rubrics, checklists and reflection tasks to complete self-assessments. The needs of the whole child is considered and artwork explorations allow every child to find success, building upon the skills they already have. Some children need additional time to build upon their imaginative ideas so our art studio includes puzzles and games, toys and an extensive arts library designed with student needs in mind. Topics range from graffiti art projects to hands-on learning labs as well as the study of historical time periods, movements and individual artists. Three essential questions guide student objectives, focusing on how artists produce works: from imagination, memory or observation. Teaching artists visit throughout the year to implement mural projects as well as a Saturday course offering that focuses on wall murals throughout the building. Students share an extreme sense of pride when their work is seen by our school community!
