Art Program

Information about the Art Program

Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist as he [or she] grows up. ~Pablo Picasso

Hello Parents, I would like to thank everyone for all of your support and kindness. I have had so much help setting up our new art program. I know that with such a nurturing team of students, parents, teachers, administrators, and volunteers this year is going to leave a mark on the history of Saint Martin of Tours School.

Course Description: The objective of this course is to appreciate, critique, create, and write about many types of art. Projects will be designed to teach students the major components of art. Our classroom is a nurturing environment, where every student can comfortably and creatively express him or herself. The students will be able to walk away from this art class with a folder of valuable information, a portfolio of creative artwork, many fun memories, and a deeper appreciation for the arts.

Course Themes:

1. Art as a Means of Understanding The World

2. Art as a Means of Self-Expression and Communication

3. Philosophy and Function of Art

Thanks a lot!

Ms. McInerney
