Art In Good Shepherd Elementary School
By giving children a basic knowledge of art concepts, we provide our
students with the necessary knowledge and skill base for greater creative
thinking and higher value judgments in all fields, thus enriching their
lives. The visual arts program at Good Shepherd Lutheran Elementary School
provides a step by step introduction to the visual arts. Each new learning
experience builds on prior experience and knowledge. With a strong core of
knowledge children are more willing to experiment and risk new art
experiences and with that knowledge they are more comfortable in the creation
process.
Children leaving Good Shepherd Lutheran Elementary School have an age
appropriate core foundation of visual arts knowledge and competency and a
greater opportunity to use the creativity the God has given to each one of
them
Art in Good Shepehrd Middle School
Some students arriving at Good Shepherd Middle School may have never taken a
formal art class, while others, some of whom have been at the Good Shepherd
Preschool and Elementary School, have been engaged in art activities for
years.
Although students may have different degrees of skill, in the Good Shepherd
Middle School Art Program each student’s experience and ideas are valued and
they will be encouraged to build upon what they already know in a noncritical
environment.
