Visit the art room instagram page to see the artwork our students are creating.

This year we will explore the elements of art such as line, color, value, form, construction methods, printing ceramics, and more. Inspiration will be drawn from our environment, as well as Social studies, Language Arts, and Science. Emphasis is placed on students’ concepts, originality, and creativity. Students will get to do their own personal, independent work while learning new art techniques. Students will develop skills to become more critically aware of the design, craft, art, and media in their lives.
