Kindergarten and first-grade students in the summer school art enrichment program created colorful works of art by experimenting with different textures and patterns to enhance their drawings. The young artists then applied paint to their designs, learning about color mixing and brush techniques while developing their artistic skills.

The art enrichment program introduces students to various artistic concepts and techniques in an age-appropriate, hands-on manner. Students learn about visual elements like texture, pattern, and color while developing fine motor skills and creative expression abilities that support their overall educational development.

Art education for young children provides important benefits beyond artistic skill development, including improved concentration, self-confidence, and problem-solving abilities. The creative process encourages students to make decisions, express themselves, and take pride in their unique artistic voice.

The inclusion of art instruction in summer programming reflects the district's understanding that comprehensive education includes creative expression and that all students deserve opportunities to explore and develop their artistic potential.
