The Greenwood art room - a world of
art education!
|
Art is a part of Quality Education
for Greenwood Students!
The arts foster self-discipline,
enable learners to develop many types of intelligence, and master
basic skills.
DID YOU KNOW?
Without art study, large and important legacies of art and
culture go unseen, unheard, unread, unstudied, and unlearned. The
surest way to create semiliterate graduates from American schools
is to insure that many of the important artistic forms in which
meaning is represented will be enigmas to our students - codes they
cannot crack.
Literacy is far more than being able to read and write. Because
meaning is the core of literacy, it is the ability to decode or
encode in any of the forms through which meaning is conveyed. What
cannot be conveyed in words is often possible in the visual, auditory,
choreographic, or the literary - these ought to be primal educational
aims.
Educational equity is provided to our young not simply by
giving them access to our schools, but by providing programs that
enable them to become fully literate once they pass through the
schoolhouse door. Visual learning represents a particular form of
human achievement, one that includes our ability to notice what
is visually subtle and to use it in ways that are personally or
socially meaningful.
