Art Club will be offered to fifth and sixth grade students on Tuesdays from 2:30-3:30. Club members learn the history and techniques of Art, they learn to express themselves and communicate through their work, and they learn to value their skills. During art club we will dig deeper in exploring with more challenging tools and materials. There will also be a critique component to the Art Club where students have the opportunity to show & tell about their artwork, engage in dialogue with peers about their own and others artworks, and develop an artist statement to describe their work.
