Geneva Day School

Art

The Art program is designed to provide an environment that fosters a child’s creativity and enthusiasm for art. Each child is given freedom to explore and enjoy the “art process,” and uses imagination to experiment with and modify art materials provided at each lesson.

“Elements of Art”  is introduced to 3s and 4s and includes lines, shapes, colors, textures, and space. The Pre-Kindergarten Art program, “Works of Wonder,” continues to build on this knowledge and approach these concepts from the theme of Nature and Native American Indians. The Kindergarten Art program explores Art History with an “Art through the Ages” theme. There is discussion and hands-on activities replicating styles of specific artists of time periods.

Geneva’s Art program culimates in May of each year with the Annual Geneva Day School Art Show. The entire school is magically transformed into an art gallery featuring the creative works of every student. Families, friends, and newspaper representatives come to admire and enjoy the many and varied talents of the artists.
