A
multicultural approach provides an opportunity for students
to learn and appreciate art worldwide from past to present,
aiming to develop the artistic talents and creativity of
children in a variety of mediums and multicultural styles.
Pedagogy includes principles of constructivism,
discovery, experiential learning, and emphasis on
independence. Through praxis and pastiche, students enhance their
cognitive, visual, critical thinking, and hand-eye
coordination skills.
Project themes provide students the opportunity to
interpret art from around the world, revealing the
student's personal perception of themselves and world
cultures. Students notice a connection between art
projects and classroom curriculum in subjects such as
literature, geography, math, music, history, and
science. It is amazing to see students' artistic
achievements as their imaginations come to life through
art.
Curriculum maps, strategies,
and sequences for projects reflecting cultural and art-making traditions,
architecture, native crafts, art movement timelines, and historical events
from around the world using a variety of mediums and substrates.
