Visual Arts

The Lower Division visual arts program provides students the opportunity to experiment with a wide variety of art media while learning that art is a universal form of expression. Our program strives to strengthen the students' visual perception while nurturing the development of creative self-expression. Students learn how the elements of design such as line, shape, form, texture, color, and space can be controlled as they express themselves visually. Themes for art projects, while geared to age appropriate expectations, often correlate with other studies, intensifying the student's overall experience.

Each spring the school hosts an All-School Art Show where each child has some of his or her work displayed. The goal of the art program is for all students to probe their imaginations to discover their own unique vision. The children are encouraged to take pride in their work and to develop self-confidence in their ability to express themselves.
