Art

The Visual Arts allow students to communicate and demonstrate their ideas that show creativity of thought and the use of complex problem-solving strategies. Education in the arts provides students with the opportunities to use divergent modes of thinking and explore the notion that problems may have multiple solutions.  The arts provide a set of tools for:

  • making critical choices as well as for creating
  • communicating
  • understanding others’ ideas

This makes the arts as essential to success in daily living as knowing how to read, write and compute.   Education in the arts affects the quality of learning in all content areas and to the overall learning environment.

Barry Elementary use the Adventures in Art Curriculum as a tool for inspiring students to perceive, create, and appreciate the visual arts.  We encourage critical and creative thinking while building an awareness of art from around the world and in everyday life. 

Students attend art classes twice weekly.  Student work is on display in the lobby.  We rotate this work out each month, displaying some of the projects and activities that students are learning in class.  These are organized by grade level and we encourage you to stop by and look at the work of our future artists!
