Art
Our Students will practice using the elements of art and principles of design through various art projects throughout the year with Ms. Cier. Students will explore the history of art and art’s place in different cultures. During this process, students will meet the following four Visual Arts Core Standards: Creating Art, Presenting Art, Responding to Art and Connecting Art to the many facets of the world in which they live.
