Lower School art offers children the
opportunity to create works based on their own perspectives
and imagery. Since a great deal of a student’s
world is their school and education, the art program
integrates with the school curriculum. This integrated
approach to art education encourages students to develop
their own voice within the exploration of academic
ideas. Art lessons reinforce subjects being learned
and give students alternative opportunities to express
themselves.
The introduction to realism is presented
to grades 4-5. Students begin to learn concepts of
perspective, light source, and proportion, while continuing
to learn about basic art elements and techniques of
color, shape, line, texture and depth. Students are
given the opportunity to explore and experiment with
drawing, painting, sculpting and printing, while practicing
the technical handling of materials.
Art history is taught in the context
of a given emphasis. The aim is to reinforce art appreciation
through the study of art aesthetics and its place in
various cultures and history, while helping students
grow in their understanding of different perspectives
and visual means of expression.
