About the Visual Arts program… <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wellesley\u2019s art department is for the entire district for grades PreK – 12. Elementary levels focus on hand eye coordination as students become curious about what can be and what the meaning behind it is. Students are challenged to observe artwork and ask themselves questions about art. What is art? What are they looking at? What are its positive attributes and how can it be improved? As students move to the middle school, they continue general art courses in grades 6 and 7. Art instructors challenge students to solve problems and hone their basic skills of observation and critical thinking. In grade 8, students can begin a concentration in a subset of art course offerings of their choice. When students become high schoolers, art is an elective and students who choose to study visual art can concentrate on a particular art offering or can explore the many types of art within the program of studies. At the high school level, students can continue to learn in their art courses for personal expression, artistic intent and become part of a family within the school walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
