Art

The art room at Rosemount Elementary is a place where every child is encouraged to explore, create, and grow. We believe that art is an important part of a child's development, providing opportunities to build confidence, express ideas and emotions, and discover their unique creative voice. Every student is welcomed as an artist and encouraged to take creative risks in a supportive and positive environment.

Throughout the year, students will experience a wide variety of engaging art projects using many different materials and techniques while learning the elements of art and principles of design. Lessons inspire creativity and curiosity while helping students develop problem-solving skills, perseverance, and pride in their work.

Our curriculum celebrates the rich diversity of art by introducing students to artists, traditions, and cultures from around the world, as well as throughout history. Students also explore interdisciplinary connections that show how art relates to subjects such as literature, science, social studies, and math, helping them see the many ways creativity connects to everyday life.

Through creating, observing, discussing, and reflecting on art, students gain an appreciation for different perspectives and cultures while developing skills that extend far beyond the art room. Most importantly, we hope every child leaves with the confidence to express themselves, the courage to try new things, and a lifelong appreciation for the power of creativity.

“Art has the role in education of helping children become more like themselves instead of more like everyone else.” -Sydney Gurewitz Clemens
