Hello from Alcott's Art Studio!
The Concord K-5 Art Curriculum is based on the following philosophy:
All art lessons are sufficiently open ended to encourage individual problem solving at appropriate development levels. While the design of the art lessons directs students toward a specific concept or lesson objective, one of the unique aspects of the art curriculum is that there is never a “right answer”. Student artwork is not supposed to look a certain way, or to replicate a teacher’s or another artist’s work. Instead, problem solving and end product belongs to each individual student.
At all levels, art lessons aim to encourage students to consider these questions:
What is my idea?
What do I know about this material?
How can I use what I know about this material to communicate my idea?
What visual strategies do I know, or what are some new ones that I can discover?
What can I learn from my classmates during the process?
Our Art Studio is a place where all students can take risks, explore materials, make decisions, work collaboratively, and express themselves.
We ponder works of art with the following questions:
What do you see?
What do you think?
What do you wonder?
We consider big ideas:
Art is everywhere.
Art tells us about the world.
Art connects us.
Life inspires art.
Art expresses ideas.
Art is a process.
