We plan and coordinate events which bring the entire community together to learn and celebrate. We have a unique opportunity to see and teach children as they grow during their Ray School years. We believe that the arts are a necessary component of an individual's education and should stimulate the student through various creative experiences. We strive to create an environment where the learning process empowers students to learn about art in a manner which will develop skills, self-esteem, aesthetic awareness, and creative thinking. We believe that conceptual understanding and an expansive enjoyment of the arts is developed through structured experiences.
Every child has the opportunity to use varied media and explore different techniques.
Many art classes integrate with classroom curriculum reinforcing and expanding upon areas of study in language arts, science, social studies and math. In addition, the arts of various cultures are explored at each grade level. Through expression in the arts, we strive to help students build understanding and appreciation for the many unique cultures around the world. If you are interested in volunteering in the art room or have a particular art skill you would like to share, please contact us. All help is greatly appreciated.
