Overview: K-5 ART In the Art Room we use the acronym for the word ART to reveal our daily philosophy:
A ~ Allow your imaginations to soar R ~ Respect ...exemplify it T ~ Try to do your best
The Briarcliff Art Room is a place where we think creatively and collaborate with our peers. We love to explore Art just for Art's sake, but we can also integrate Art and Science, Art and Literature, Art and Reading, Art and Math, Art and Social Studies, Art and Technology, well.... just about wherever the connections take us. We learn that to become better artists, it is super important not to be afraid to take risks. We know that a "mess up is a fix up." If we think outside the box and think creatively about transforming our "mess ups", or "beautiful oops", our Art work often turns out even better than we originally planned. In the Art Room we are often inspired by Art from many different cultures around the world, as well as, from Artists in Art History all the way from prehistory to contemporary art. We discover the Elements of Art and the Principles of Design and learn how to create original art which reflects that knowledge. Parents, if you have any special art talent, craft or Art History knowledge we would love to invite you to the Art Room to share it with us!
