Visual Arts In Review- By Mrs. Nohelty
Throughout the course of the school year, every class from
Kindergarten to Third grade meets once a week for 45 minutes in the art
classroom. Bell Students will have art for approximately 12 art classes each grading period.
The program is designed to provide an enriching Fine Art experience for
every student regardless of their skill-level, talent, or aptitude. All
students have the opportunity to create and participate in an individualized yet
cooperative artistic environment.
In
the Bell Elementary art program we focus on creativity and expression of
individual artistic accomplishment. The students, regardless of age, are encouraged to engage in the visual arts
while working within the structure and expectations of the Marblehead Public School Fine Arts Curriculum, and the Massachusetts State Visual Arts Educational Frameworks. Art lessons within the Bell School program are developed with a strong emphasis age appropriate artistic skills while integrating the theories of Elements
and Principals around Art and Design.
Students are graded according to their willingness to
participate, age appropriate visual art skill sets and classroom behavior.
