Gifted and Talened Art
Students introduced to the Elements of Art: Line, Shape, Color, Texture, space and Form. Students will be provided with a variety of developmentally appropriate art materials such as paint, crayons, markers and clay to further develop basic fine motor skills while they create expressive works of art. They will also learn vocabulary used in the visual arts (during hands-on activities and explorations. Teachers keep student portfolios of work created in school to demonstrate growth and ability throughout the years.

Process
Throughout the student's years in elementary school the art teachers are creating portfolios of student work. In the winter of the third grade all students are given to art assessments: a creative piece and a still life drawing. These assessments are used to deteremine which students will sit for the Torrence Creativity Test. In the spring of third grade, a committee of art teachers from grades 4-8 and the gifted coordinator evalute student work to deteremine placement into the gifted and talented art program at Joyce Kilmer. The process is ongoing, as the art teachers are asked to create portfolios annually.
We do not accept any art that was created outside of the school.
The JK Gifted and Talented Art Program is designed to enhance each child's artistic abilities, nurture and develop creativity, and provide students the opportunity to engage in a variety of artistic mediums. The program is designed for students in 4th & 5th grade who exhibit artistic, creative talent with a consistently high degree of self-motivation.
