The EMS art program takes pride in motivating students to express themselves visually and creatively while building strong/positive relationships.  Students explore various techniques, artists, media, and history.  In art class, students will focus on the basic skills in art:  elements/principles of design, drawing, painting, mixed media, printmaking, and glass/ceramics.  

Our EMS art program gives your student(s) the ability to

• Learn to trust their creative intelligence.
• Learn to identify aesthetic qualities in a variety of artwork and in the environment.
• Learn about history and culture through art.
• Learn to more effectively use their senses to explore the world.
• Use both verbal and nonverbal methods to express abstract ideas and emotions.

• Practice problem solving and critical thinking.
• Learn concepts and techniques that will give them control of the visual images they produce.

Students’ art accomplishments can be seen in every hallway throughout the school!
