ART FOR KIDS
Lydia Bratton
Fridays at 10:45

Following a Pre-K standards for art , students will understand and apply media, techniques, and processes related to the visual arts. For example, experimenting with a variety of color, textures, and shapes and creating three-dimensional structures and arrangements using concrete materials or manipulatives (e.g., blocks).

Overall, this class will teach children life skills such as developing an informed perception, articulating a vision, learning to solve problems and make decisions, building self-confidence and self-discipline, developing the ability to imagine what might be, and accepting responsibility to complete tasks from start to finish.

"Compelling evidence exists that early arts experience has an impact on all aspects of a child's learning and development."
