ART K-2

COURSE RATIONALE

By offering Art to kindergartners, first and second graders, we encourage children, and our future society, to search for and appreciate beauty in all of life. Observation skills are sharpened, imagination is sparked and the working-out of design problems teaches problem-solving skills. These skills become internalized and benefit these young children throughout life.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Art classes at the Primary level, meeting for 1 hour per week, provide opportunity to learn to use a variety of art media in creative ways in order to encourage young students to become comfortable with expressing themselves creatively.
