VISUAL ART

Students enter art at Exploris with diverse abilities, experiences and exposure. At this level, the emphasis becomes more introspective as students move to develop their own level of competence and personal style. The art curriculum emphasizes that there are multiple artistic solutions and interpretations and the focus is on assisting the student in developing through creative experiences and fostering a appreciation of the arts.

They learn how to apply the elements of art and the principles of design through projects that relate to classroom themes, current events and personal experiences. Identifying the history, purpose and functions of visual art in various cultures is also important to the curriculum at Exploris.
