The HCPSS Visual Arts program educates students through rigorous and meaningful child-centered learning experiences.  Visual arts instruction is designed to foster 21st-century skills encompassing critical and creative thinking, self-direction, perseverance, and accountability in the making of personal works of art.

Emerging Intermediate: My Art and My World

This instructional level is one of transition.  Children begin to become independent thinkers, are self-motivated, and are ready for new artistic challenges.  Students develop a global understanding of self and the world.  Artistic ability is further developed through a directed exploration of studio media, using the formal qualities of art.  Students begin to critically consider their work and the work of others in both verbal and written form.
