Creative Art, Music, Movement
HERO Class Syllabus for 2008-2009
Course Instructor: Sandy Stauner
Course Description:
Children will discover, “the joy of art” as they are introduced to a variety of art & art activities. These activities are designed to encourage development of artistic vision and creative expression through art, music & creative dramatic play. They will discover the excitement of paints, clays, collage, pastels and other media. Through music we will swing and sway, jump and jiggle to new songs and old favorites. We will be learning about musical instruments that create beautiful music and rhythm. Stories and poetry will help us learn about artists, writers, and composers as we find a quiet time for a break.
All children have the potential for creative expression. The creative art, music, and movement class provides the opportunity to develop in this area. We encourage children to verbalize about their paintings and other art activities. Talking about their work instills greater confidence, as each artistic activity requires original thinking, planning and doing. Each child’s art has a distinct charm of its own as the child expresses their feelings.
