Demonstration of Growth

Below is the general learning for students participating in the elementary art program. Learning targets are scaffold and look different at each grade level. Students in Kindergarten and First Grade are much more experimental as students learn materials, techniques and process. As students progress additional artistic approaches are explored and context is considered more deeply when creating meaning. At all grade levels students are working on artistic behaviors and the Studio Habits of Mind, Visual literacy, and 21st century skills.

The process of learning and creating take time. Learning behaviors will be reported quarterly, but summative assessments that communicate the level at which the student is approaching, meeting, or exceeding standards will be reported at the end of the second and fourth quarter.
