Fine Arts
Art
The art program is for students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. Students come to the art room for age appropriate activities intended to stretch the creativity of each child. Many projects the students work on support the studies that are presently taking place in their classroom, extending the learning process.
The art curriculum is based on the objectives and concepts from the Fine Arts Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills, the educational goals from the state of Texas. In the art room, we study the elements of art and principles of design, creating artworks reflecting these goals. Our art classes promote academic success through problem solving, building confidence, and enhancing creativity.
