August-June
Art evokes reactions. Do you ever find yourself liking or disliking a work of art, but you struggle to articulate why? Students will don the hat of “art critic” in this immersive program as we seek to build our art appreciation toolkit. Programs in the Arts Appreciation Series encourage students to practice their communication skills, particularly oral communication, through intentional opportunities for speaking about and engaging with the arts and each other.
All multigrade program offerings will be supported by grade-level appropriate standards, available to share upon request.
