Art Students are involved in a disciplined-based art education program which includes the study of art history, aesthetics, criticism, and art production in an age appropriate manner. The yearly program starts with the introduction of an historical time-line beginning with cave art to the present. Later, students study the art of world cultures and ethnic groups. Theories of design and color are interwoven throughout the years at Prospect. Students meet once a week.
Students visit the library once a week with their class.
Activities include instruction in the use of reference materials and card catalog, storytelling, participation in reader's theaters, book talks, and, of course, book check-out. Students might even see a magic trick or sing a silly song. Students have fun with such themes as pirates, bugs, space, movies, pigs, dragons, and detective stories. Every third and fourth grade student studies music with three music specialists during the course of the year. Each 12 week section provides a different emphasis to the study of music.
