VISUAL ARTS Ms. Wattles sees the arts as a language that is accessible to the very youngest learners. All children are inherent artists and using the elements of art: line, texture, shape, color, scale, value we create art by working in the many ways that artists work. We do observational drawing, draw from our imaginations, we explore materials including different types of paint, play with color, we work in a hands on process oriented spirit allowing for individual expression. |
