The Arts

In Grade 5, The Arts program focuses on fostering creativity, self-expression, and critical thinking. 

Our year will be structured sequentially across the four core strands:

• Visual Arts (Fall): We begin our year by exploring the elements of design (such as line, shape, and colour). Students will experiment with various materials and techniques to create their own artwork, while also learning how to interpret and analyze visual media from different cultures.

• Music (Winter): Moving into the winter, we will focus on understanding rhythm, melody, and musical notation. Students will have opportunities to listen to diverse musical genres, create their own short compositions, and explore how music conveys emotion.

• Drama (Spring): We will conclude our arts rotation by diving into drama. Students will use role-play, tableau, and improvisation to explore different perspectives, solve problems creatively, and build their communication and performance confidence.

• Dance (Aligned with LuvtoGroove workshop timing): To maximize movement and active learning, Dance will be fully incorporated into our Physical Education program. Through this integration, students will use the elements of dance (such as body, space, and time) to choreograph sequences, communicate ideas through movement, and build physical coordination and fitness.
