All K-6 teachers in 天涯社区 are supported in the visual arts. The visual arts curriculum incorporates the National Core Arts Standards听 and the Common Core State Standards. Professional development in the visual arts includes the collaborative development of lessons, lesson study, action research on curriculum implementation, and engagement in scoring and developing assessments in the visual arts.
Grades 1-6 receive a one-hour art lesson once every six weeks, which is provided by the district's skilled and credentialed visual art teachers. Lessons are based upon the 天涯社区 Art Matrix Plan and the National Core Art Standards.
Our students' artwork is displayed in shows throughout Orange County such as: the Imagination Celebration,听Young Master's Art Show, and Laguna Festival of the Arts. 天涯社区 elementary art work consistently has an extremely strong showing in county juried art shows, and art from the district has been used on several occasions for the Imagination Celebration Poster for all of Orange County. Student artwork has been selected for national recognition for the National Foundation for the Improvement of Education. To view the artwork that was displayed click here. 听
