FCPS-Elementary Art Art is basic to the general education of every student in Fairfax County Public Schools. The Elementary Art Program of Studies is based on the National Standards for Art Education. Instruction emphasizes production and engages students in active learning in the concepts, skills and processes of perception and reflection.
Art is delivered by certified art teachers to all elementary students.

Teachers may use the lesson plan form by typing directly on the form. When finished with the lesson, the teacher has the option of printing, submitting, or saving the lesson.
