The visual arts education program embraces a comprehensive curriculum based upon four content areas: art appreciation (aesthetic perception), art history (artists and cultures), production (creative expression), and criticism (reflection and assessment).  Scope and sequence skills are designed in accordance with national and state standards for K-5 arts education.

 Thematic units of study encourage creative expression, promote critical thinking, and develop problem solving skills than enhance all academic areas.  Students are actively involved in learning and exploring a wide variety of media, techniques, and processes.  While art room explorations promote a mastery of basic art vocabulary and concepts, the meaningful learning experiences are also designed to build an awareness of art in everyday life and to cultivate a lifelong interest in art.  Meaningful art connections are made with cross-curricular activities.
