Academy of the Arts

 

Pre Kindergarten

PK Art provides the students with many ideas for creative activities that can be introduced to the children as fun, hands-on learning experiences. Each activity gives the class opportunities to work independently while improving certain skills that are vital to preschool children’s development.

• Working/Kneading Clay or Model Magic
• Scissor Safety
• Painting
• Manipulatives

Junior Kindergarten

The Fine Arts program teaches art concepts and skills through an experience based approach. Students will be introduced to elements and principals of design. We will cover differences in shapes and forms, differences in light (tints) and dark (shades), lines, primary/secondary/tertiary colors, texture, balance, symmetry, space.
