Art with Jennifer Jones
Our purpose at this level is to engage the children and spark an enthusiasm for the creative process based on the child’s on-going developmental eye-hand coordination and motor skills. Also, to enable the children to develop a basic knowledge of artistic expression, using two and three dimensional media, and to further their artistic talents through hands on art experiences. Through the study of art techniques, history and culture, the children will make connections from art lessons that will enrich their life experiences.
