Visual Arts
Visual arts is a vital component of a Clairbourn education. It has aesthetic, perceptual, and intellectual dimensions that teach students about creatively solving problems and seeking fresh perspectives that open up possibilities. All forms of artistic expression nurture the spirit and teach appreciation for beauty and personal expression.
Well-Equipped Space
Clairbourn has a well-lit and spacious, dedicated art room with classes taught by a specialist in art education. The art room is fully equipped with a rich variety of media types, including pencils, watercolor, acrylics, clay, and more. The art room also has a SMART Board to show educational videos about artists and art movements, to demonstrate artistic techniques or to take virtual field trips.
Instruction by Grade
Kindergarten through grade 5 students have art lessons and creative experiences focusing on both conceptual development and technical skills. Middle School students are offered art specialist classes. Kindergarten through grade 8 students also participate in the Annual Art Exhibit which showcases artwork from every student. All students are exposed to a variety of art mediums, styles, and artists.
Art Appreciation Skills
Art appreciation lessons that include global perspectives are part of the art curriculum. Students are taught art analysis skills and how to discuss art concepts and artists. They also discuss and analyze their own work. The students' outlook is also expanded through visiting artist assemblies and workshops.
As students work to refine their pieces of sculpture or drawing, or their presentation of spoken lines or singing parts, they learn to be self-critical and self-correcting, to handle frustration, and to persevere until they achieve their goal.
