Elementary Art

The elementary art program introduces the student to a broad range of artists inspiring appreciation through total experience. Elementary art promotes understanding and enjoyment through observation, history, biography, music and hands on experience. Art activities in the studio include sketching, sculpture, portraiture, collage, Asian brushwork and more. These contain exploration in resist, wash, texture, shadow and light, symmetry, value, patterns, movement, abstract composition, realism, impressionism and others. Each art activity is geared toward individuality, creativity and success!
Elementary artists have attended the ballet, sketched animals at the Fort Worth Zoo and flowers at the Arboretum, observed the Mondrian exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art and built individual projects with the Home Depot to further enhance the curriculum.
