admin| In the art curriculum the students are exposed to a variety of art techniques, activities and materials, with the emphasis on learning basic art skills and using creativity. Academic topics and related Art History will be discussed in class. Our classes also take trips to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and other museums. |
Kindergarten and Grades 1 and 2 include: collage, crayons, painting, design
and cutting. The students will draw and paint from imagination as well as
using objects in nature as models.

styrofoam printing, object printing, linoleum printing, puppet making, using
clay, film making, art from different countries, and art in nature.
In Grades 5 and 6, projects may include mobiles, paper quilling, silk-screen
printing, weaving, paper maché sculpture, art from different countries, and art
in nature.
The art program is not seen as a separate entity within the scope of our
school's curriculum, but rather one part of an interwoven holistic learning
experience. Children are given a more comprehensive understanding and
appreciation of the relationships that the various subjects in the curriculum
have with each other.
