Art

Basic art concepts are taught through a wide variety of projects, intended to capture the students' interest and imagination. Emphasis is placed on introducing students to techniques that will develop their skills when using various media and demonstrating different effects that can be achieved through experimentation. This approach to teaching art, combined with giving students a great deal of encouragement, will help them to discover that they possess abilities to acheive more than they might think possible from their artwork. They are given many opportunities to develop observational skills, in order to acquire a better understanding of people, things and their environment. In addition to drawing and painting, students may create with collage, papier mache, print making, scrap-wood construction, and other available material.
