The ultimate goal at Temple Montessori School is for children to use computers and other related technology as a medium for creative expression and as a basic tool for communication. Computer classes are taught in conjunction with integrated studies, humanities, writing, science, and math to enhance the use of computer skills in communication and creative activities. The school s connection to the Internet is a major research base for students. Art Temple Montessori School s art program is based on a sequential, spiraling curriculum which stresses expressive outcomes. This curriculum includes both traditional hands-on studio art activities and art history experiences in which students become acquainted with significant late 20th century artists and art movements.
Activities are developmentally appropriate and include virtually every medium.
Children explore clay, drawing, figure drawing, pastels, paints, construction, and architecture among others. In the Upper Elementary Program, art is a part of the integrated studies program during which, for example, students studying ancient Greece may create their own figure drawings to be used on their own pottery creations while studying archeology.
