Teachers value originality of thought and experimentation. Arts classes allow students to experiment with a variety of media.
Students draw, paint, sculpt, make pottery, weave and learn the basics of printmaking.
From grade 3 on they also work with the art of computer graphics. Classes emphasize the enjoyment of artistic discovery and process. Focus on the completion of a form or image, teach respect for tools and the work of others, and instill a sense of craftsmanship. Through the years, a potter, weaver, painter, muralist, and a puppeteer have shared their work and ideas with us. The art faculty often consults with other teachers regarding the integration of the visual arts with the academic curriculum.
