In The Classroom
Each student gets to come with their class into the art room for one forty minute session each week. In our weekly classes we practice basic fine motor skills such as cutting with a scissors, tracing around a pattern, and drawing with pencil or crayon.
Our art classes focus on the elements of art which includes color, shape, texture, form, size, and value. Sometimes our projects relate to the current seasons or upcoming holidays. Other projects are just for fun and help cover the elements of art.

Sometimes our art lesson includes learning about famous artists. In the past we have talked about Leonardo daVinci, Grant Wood, Grandma Moses and Eric Carle. (Children's author and illustrator) One day Mrs. Stoken dressed up as Grandma Moses and visited the class.
