Art Program

Vision

The Winters art program establishes tools for lifelong learning, helping students appreciate the world around them. Art develops an understanding of history and cultures, which provides a gateway to express thoughts and feelings through self expression and creativity. The art program builds self-esteem in children and teaches them to analyze, interpret and develop a higher level of thinking skills. Our Vision for Winters' students are to become forward thinking adults who are capable of coming up with new solutions through creative venues.

Goals:

• Incorporate the elements and principles of art.

• Experience success through a variety of hands on art lessons.

• Use art process and problem solving to create and original piece of artwork.

• Identify and utilize art vocabulary.

• Incorporates a higher level of thinking for open ended problem solving using a variety of art techniques.

• Connecting art history and core curriculum.

• Promote self-esteem by building success in each student.

Grades will not be given on final product but on effort and elements needed to produce a work of art.
