Art Curriculum
During the school year students become proficient in the use of various
tools including pencil, marker, crayon, glue, and scissors. The
basics of design (line, shape, color, texture, space, value and form)
are discussed at all grade levels and incorporated into lesson plans.
The students learn the difference between two and three-dimensional
design, they illustrate stories, do printmaking, weaving, collage and
mobiles. They learn about various famous artists from the cave
artists and old masters to recent innovators and they learn to do
artwork in the styles of the artists they study. They experience
teamwork when they make their class project for the annual church
auction. They are also given the opportunity to work in the style
of other cultures. The children enjoy making pictures connected with
prominent occasions such as Christmas and Easter among others. The
lesson plans are structured according to the grade level and available
class time over the course of the year. Therefore some activities
are not available to all grades every school year.

Two to three pieces of artwork will be featured each month. See
