They learn to describe what they see and to make their own works of art inspried by these reproductions. They also learn the art of different cultures such as totem poles and rugs from Native American peoples, metal working in the style of pre-Columbian civilizations, and stitchery from pioneer America. Students studying Greek mythology designed their own vases based on Greek style. We have also made Egyptian mummy cases and Japanese scrolls. Many of the projects are coordinated with the material that students are learning in their other classes.
Students also learn about different careers as artists, such as architecture and commercial art.
Our art program aims to make creative art a fun and intellectually satisfying experience for the children.
