 Arts
in Action
The Arts in Action curriculum develops technical skills and an understanding
of the language of art while also teaching appreciation and cultural
understanding of art and its history. End-of-the-year exhibits present
thousands of pieces of art created by every child in the program.
Our Arts in Action teachers lead by example, guiding and encouraging
children through sequential lessons in drawing, painting, sculpting
and more. Visual arts fundamentals are taught using examples from famous
artists and various cultures. Weekly hands-on classes emphasize:
- Creative expression and decision-making
- Art appreciation and cultural
understanding of art origins/history
- Developing technical skills
- Understanding language of art (line, shape,
pattern, balance, etc.)
At end-of-year art shows, students proudly display their drawing, painting,
sculptures and other works for family and friends.
