Philosophy of Art

“Art provides unique opportunities to explore and develop ways of knowing, doing, and being. As such, art, as a core subject, ...is a critical component in the development of every child and in multiple ways permeates every aspect of human existence.” U.S. Department of Education

While every student will not be inherently talented within the visual arts, they will be challenged to use their imagination, creativity as well as their knowledge to practice and appreciate the arts and their methods.  In our changing global community, students will need to adapt and think innovatively in order to be 21st-century problem solvers.  The development of personal aesthetics, assessment, self-reflection, and critical thinking skills is an asset that will be used throughout their lives.  

It has been said that a student's education in the arts is the polish that makes their academic experience not only more holistic, but results in them being a more cultured individual.

Concepts in Art

During art class, children have the opportunity to explore a variety of media. Students develop their natural abilities of expression through frequent art exercises in areas such as drawing, painting, sculpture, design and art history/vocabulary. The goal of the art program is to encourage children to become more selective and expressive in their choices – not only in relation to art, but in other aspects of their lives as well.
