As art is taught, connections are made with past and present cultures, other arts, and with geography, science, math, literature, history, and technology. Students sharpen observation skills and fine muscle coordination while discovering solutions to their art problems and projects. Visiting artists participate in the art program. Kindergarten has two twenty - five minute art classes per week. Most students in grades one through five have one fifty minute art class per week.
Art work is saved and taken home in a portfolio at the end of each year.
Student art work is displayed in the gallery at the main school entrance and in the honors gallery, as well as in the community. Permanent installations of student art are found throughout the school. Our main multimedia Computer Lab houses a total of 25, Windows 98, computers. This Lab is also equipped with a video projector purchased with PTO funds. The projection of the computer's screen on the wall allows the students to easily view the lesson being taught.
