Bellair Art

Welcome To The Art Room

Picture
All art programs in the Deer Valley Unified School District, including ours at Bellair Elementary, are committed to designing developmentally appropriate experiences for students which foster creativity, critical thinking skills, problem solving and self-expression for life-long learning. We are able to use traditional art materials as well as diverse technology, such as computers, smart boards and LCD projectors.

The integrity of a curriculum depends on its diversity, integration and exploration of creative problem solving. Art is a form of universal communication, a celebration of our uniqueness. Art education at Bellair encourages a student to expand his or her awareness of their environment. The whole child as an artist is guided to share his or her feelings and impact others while learning self discipline. We use art as a vehicle for knowing and understanding the world. It is active experiential learning in a meaningful context. Art is an essential part of the curriculum at Bellair.

I have lots of information to share with you here!
