Art Curriculum
Art Curriculum
Kids Junction Art Curriculum is based upon The National Standards of Visual Art, The Elements of Art and The Principles of Design. It is for children ages 3-6 years old.
During the school year your child will be introduced to a variety of art movements, artists, techniques, and quality media. These will contribute to your child's art awareness, appreciation, and ability. At the end of the school year we'll celebrate your child's work at The Art Fair on Kids Junction Square the same week as the annual spring musical.
