Stockbridge Elementary Art Program Overview
Stockbridge Elementary School's art combines core curriculum objectives with
a discipline-based art program. Our art program is based on the US National
Visual Content Standards and Michigan's Visual Content and Standards for Fine
Arts. Students in grades K through five are provided instruction in a
graduated format, building upon basic skills to more complex ideas. Each
month projects are based on a theme and art benchmarks, and core curriculum
objectives are connected to the theme. Students are introduced to units in
art history, cultural folk art, drawing, painting, printing, weaving,
ceramics and sculpture. In April or May each school has an art show
featuring artwork from all students.
