Art provides opportunities to experiment with color, design, and patterns through a variety of media. Drawing, painting, printmaking, fibers, sculpture, and fine crafts allow students to express personal ideas and emotions. Works by famous artists, as well as their historical connections, are studied. The Lower School physical education program encourages the active participation of all students and allows children to develop at their own pace. Students are involved in activities that are developmentally appropriate and allow them to explore and enhance motor skills.
