Smart Art

Group explanations, discussions about artists, movements and our own works of art will reinforce your child's vocabulary, simultaneously inspiring creativity, individuality, and self expression. Using our hands, and refining coordination we will explore different mediums including; Drawing, Painting, and Sculpting. Facebook will become our living gallery to publish our works of art and act as a forum to practice. Parents are invited to view the pages daily and interact with our students.
