In the Lower School, Art is taught in line with the Units of Inquiry.
The concepts explored through students’ art making are connected to those of each UOI. Through a variety of directed projects and assignments, students develop an understanding of the Formal Elements of Art and Principles of Design and explore their own creativity as well as the styles and techniques of artists from a range of backgrounds and cultures.
