• ART LITERACY

    The Art Literacy Program brings art appreciation into every elementary classroom through presentations given by volunteer educators. They teach art history, introduce a variety of famous artwork, explore new artwork, and instill the basic disciplines of art education that help students be successful in art production.

  • Vision
    Our vision is to provide every elementary student with an opportunity to create and appreciate art. Just like math and science, Art Literacy is a discipline in which skills are built upon each year and contributes to both knowledge and critical thinking abilities that are essential to preparation for post-high school endeavors.

  • Mission
    Our mission is to have a district-led and parent volunteer program that exposes students to a wide array of artists, cultures, and art mediums. Funding for our program is currently and generously provided by our school PSO/PTOs as well as other donors.
