  4. What do I learn in ART? Arts education benefits both student and society. Involving the "whole child" in the arts gradually teaches many types of literacy while developing intuition, sensitivity, reasoning, problem solving, imagination, and dexterity. Arts education helps students perceive and think in new ways. The following strands are included throughout the Arts education curriculum: Perceiving Producing Knowing CommunicatingEvaluating Connecting

  5. In the ART Room . . . . . .we will explore all different types of art: drawing, painting, sculpting, building, printing, etc. And we will use all kinds of materials and media from paper and clay, to ribbons and rice to chalk and cardboard. We will expand our knowledge by trying new things and looking at the world from new perspectives. All the exploring can be messy so PLEASE DO NOT WEAR YOUR NEW or NICE CLOTHES TO ART.
