Note: Lessons may vary from nine weeks to nine weeks

due to time factors or the introduction and elimination of various lessons through out the year.

 

And …throughout the year, the curriculum builds onto the foundation of all the students’ art works with reinforcement

of the elements and principles

of design.  These design elements and principles are also used in art criticism and their decision-making processes for their art works. 

These will also be used to enhance their art appreciation skills and the value of art to them in their world.
