Welcome to the ISS Elementary School Art and Design blog.
In the Primary Years Programme(PYP) we believe that Visual Arts is an integral part of the programme. Through the arts, students construct a sense of self and develop an understanding of the world around them(PYP, IBO, 2009). They engage and experiment in a continual cycle of action and reflection during creative experiences. I hope to share with you the creative processes our students engage in as they explore the elements and principles of art and design. Please click on your child’s class tab to see all the exciting work we are engaged in. Some of our work will be integrated into class units of inquiry while our stand-alone units will focus on the ELEMENTS and PRINCIPLES of Art and Design. In the first week back at school, we discussed and formulated Essential Agreements for our Art Studio. We tuned-into Visual Art with various mindful and collaborative work these past two weeks. The students were introduced to Sketch Books and how they will be using them during the course of the year. I am excited to see some wonderful ideas emerging.
