Students are exposed to a wide variety of experiences in different media and techniques, including drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, pottery, printing, and computer art. In Mountain View's art program, projects incorporate aspects of art appreciation and art history, giving even young children a growing treasury of knowledge about famous artists, art styles, and art influence in everyday life. Participation in art shows and contests and integration of art with the classroom curriculum, which research shows is very valuable, is an integral part of our art program. Each child's artwork is valued, and as such, is exhibited in the halls of our school.

Goals:

  • To support students' creative growth by teaching art skills, and concepts, and providing art experiences.

  • To develop students' appreciation and enjoyment of art.
