Art appreciation, art history and aesthetics are incorporated into each grade level. Celebrated artists are studied to make students aware of their use of these concepts in historical art. Demonstrations, lectures, stories, discussions, videos and guests are incorporated into class experiences. Students visit the Wolfe Gallery exhibits and also regularly travel to the Toledo Museum of Art for field trips. The Art Club is open to students in grades 1 - 6.
Students study art daily for one semester each year.
Projects explore the formal elements of art and often involve more than one medium. Students are encouraged to think creatively while solving the design problem presented. Improving each individual's skills, increasing vocabulary and developing compositions is emphasized. Students set their own goals and design an independent art project exploring their own area of interest. Students study 20th century art and write a report about an individual artist.
