Art Enrichment

Walnut Bend Art Program

Visual Arts is an integral part of the enrichment program at Walnut Bend. The goal of Walnut Bend Elementary's Visual Arts program is to afford the students the opportunity to learn to see things differently, to look more closely at artworks, and to enjoy creative experiences.

For 50 minutes, students are engaged in a comprehensive literature-based program where literature, art prints, well-known artists, and all of the elements of art are taught. Each day students are given many opportunities to view reproductions of masterpieces where various materials are displayed on the walls; however, these pictures are changed with some regularity in order that the five basic elements of art can be visually introduced. Below are self-portraits by some of our aspiring artists.

Each class session, students are given the opportunity to experiment with different types of mediums such as crayons, watercolors, paints, pastels, markers, and other raw materials. Walnut Bend's Visual Arts program encourages creative expression and helps to nurture the hidden gifts and talents of every student.
