The Art curriculum at HPS provides children with hands-on learning to enhance self-expression. This includes drawing, painting, collage, design, printmaking, weaving, clay, mixed-media, and more. Basic techniques and care of materials are stressed. Risk taking and creative problem solving are encouraged. Children see, talk about, and create art inspired by master artists, traditions and cultures, seasons and holidays, and one's own observation of the natural world. Learning and practicing the elements and principles of art are foundational to our growing as young artists.
