Our Classroom
Welcome to the Elementary Art Program!
Why Art Education?
Art Education helps children with the development of motor skills, language skills, social skills, decision-making, risk-taking, and creativity. https://www.senecaacademy.org/
Skills developed in art education often transfer to other areas of life and school work.
New York State Standards for the Visual Arts
The Arts Standards outline the learning experiences that children will experience in the classroom.
Four Artistic Processes (Creating, Performing/Presenting/Producing, Responding, and Connecting) and eleven Anchor Standards are shared by all arts disciplines. These represent the essential understandings and skills students gain as they engage in the arts.
