Welcome to the Art Room
The art curriculum at St. Francis School is designed to tap into the natural imagination of a child by supplying a framework of developmentally appropriate lessons and activities leading to self expression. The art room provides a wonderful opportunity to experiment with various art materials. Each material has its own creative properties and limitations that become apparent through hands on exploration and practice. Creative confidence will be gained as students learn about color theory, elements and principles of art, art history, and work of the masters. A blank piece of paper will no longer be intimidating. Students will learn that art is fun! They will learn “I can” not ” I can’t.” They will learn they are artists!
“The Art Gallery” Take a peek at the wonderful work our budding artists are creating here at St. Francis. A brief description of the art lesson accompanied by photos or a slideshow will give you a sense of what each class is focusing on and learning in art. To truly appreciate the art work, however, I encourage you to visit our school and stroll through the gallery. If your lucky you may encounter one of our artists in the hallway. Be sure and ask them a few questions regarding their art work.
