Art

Art is the one area in the elementary school, which provides children with the opportunity to create something that is meaningful and satisfying. Art allows children the time and resources to develop their creative potential. In the elementary program, with each grade level, the focus is on the art elements of line, shape, form, space, texture, value, and color. Each grade level uses these elements in a variety of projects that fit to that particular age and grade. Also, in art, children gain knowledge and understanding of man and his culture. The children involve themselves in looking, touching, and analyzing. Discussions center on why people, including artists, create art, and why society today values art. And, most importantly, all of the students have a good time creating art.
