  At Lexicon students explore the basic skills of constructing with paper, clay, recycled materials, fabric and a variety of other materials. They practice fine motor skills through the use of drawing media, brushes, scissors, and other art tools. Students are introduced to the elements of art—line, shape, colour, and texture—through projects and class discussions. Students develop their sensitivity for colour by viewing different paintings and by learning to mix paints. Experimentation and creative thinking are encouraged as students learn to explore their imaginations in an atmosphere as free as it is comfortable for each child. The art program is designed to develop the students’ confidence and joy in making art and displaying their work throughout the year. |
