I hope that this website will make you feel more connected to the art program at Louisville Elementary. Here you will find updates of the actual student artwork being created, as well as explanations of the processes and intentions of each project presented.
The new Visual Arts Standards
1. Observe and Learn to Comprehend- the visual arts are a means for expression, communication and meaning making
2. Envision and Critique to Reflect- Visual arts recognize, articulate, and implement critical thinking through the synthesis, evaluation and analysis of visual information.
3. Invent and Discover to create- Generate works of art that employ unique ideas, feelings, and values using different media, technologies.
4. Relate and Connect to Transfer- Recognize, articulate, and validate the value of the visual arts to lifelong learning and the human experience.
Or, as the kids have learned to understand the standards as 1. Looking, 2. Thinking, 3. Making, and 4. Connecting-making it relate to you.
