Art at Thurston
Elementary art education engages students in the following:
Art Production or creating art, provides opportunities for children to express themselves visually to convey their own ideas and feelings.
Art History assists children to understand works of art. Students learn about the artist, the function, and the culture in which the art was created. Students also learn how and why art has changed over time.
Art Criticism gives children the opportunity to engage in oral discussions that describe, interpret and evaluate art that was made by artists as well as their own creations
Aesthetics provides students with different ways to appreciate and value art. Students answer questions like: What is beauty?, Why is this art? and What is good art?
