ABOUT VISUAL ARTS
Visual Arts provides students with opportunities to interact with sensitivity and respect for their own art and that of others, to show appreciation for different ways of perceiving and knowing, and to recognize and critically respond to the role of the media in their lives and communities. Students work both independently and collaboratively to solve problems and respond to ideas and experiences by making and examining visual art. Activities might include painting, drawing, sculpting, weaving, exploring puppetry, multimedia, printmaking, textiles, and design. Drama, movement, and music may be incorporated as well.
