Art Discovery Program

Riverview Elementary


The Art Discovery Program provides K-5 students with an opportunity to explore Great Art in the classroom, by using fine Art Reproductions.  The goal of the program is to expose students to different types of art and art techniques and to teach them Basic Elements and Principles of Art.

 

Why is the Art Discovery Volunteer Program important?

Looking at and talking about art encourages thinking skills: observing, remembering, comparing, questioning and making choices. Learning about art helps students to form and verbalize their own ideas, which cultivates creative thinking as well as language ability. Great art has always enriched people’s lives. Volunteers, as well as the students, find this program extremely enjoyable!

At Riverview, we have a monthly art meeting in the Riverview Forum Room. Please come and join us if you are interested in learning more about art and the Art Discovery program!
