In addition to language arts, visual art is another method of communication. Many artists have demonstrated their expression in a visual form through the ages. Thoughts and feelings can be effectively conveyed through drawing, painting and even sculpting. The art program at Arborland intends to instill the importance of creativity and art in daily life, helping the child use it as a means of expression and communication.
The students learn to use lines, shapes, colors, textures, forms, spaces, and different medium to create their expression. They learn to draw, paint, and survey the different artistic eras and the most popular artists of these times. As children learn the historical progression of art, they will have a much better understanding that being artistic is a skill that is developed over time, and will lead them to have a better appreciation of different works of art. In addition, as the children learn about the eras, they will also discover the different styles and techniques used by renowned artists, allowing them to develop their creative abilities.
