Art
The Arts enhance academics and brain development, encouraging flexible thinking, problem solving and tenacity. Everyday classroom art includes illustration, watercolor painting, coloring, sculpting with beeswax, puppetry, cooking, poetry recital, creative writing, and artistic geometry. Students create practical arts such as handwork (knitting, crocheting, cross-stitch, sewing, dying, felting), woodwork, pottery, and sculpting (clay and stone); as well as visual arts including painting and pastels, charcoal drawing, wet-on-wet watercolor painting, and silk painting.
