Foundations in Art

Foundations in Art is a unique program at our school where students explore art history and creativity through interactive lessons. Parent Volunteers know as (Art Docents) bring these lessons to life by teaching about famous artists, art movements, and techniques, followed by an engaging art projects using a variety of materials including paint, paper, and clay. The program was created by a parent years ago, and our school is proud to be the only one that offers it.
