Art

Mrs. Tanksley

We are committed to stimulating and sustaining a quality education in art as an essential part of every child's education. Art is creative; thus, being exposed to art, children can easily nurture and develop their creative side. As well,a piece of drawing is worth a thousand words, and can easily help open your child's mind to something that perhaps he has never been exposed to before. Perhaps it will show him a creative new world with new options that he has not yet witnessed. Or perhaps, it will show him a different culture and world he is not accustomed to experiencing.

Art class at Uncas Elementary School provides students with a powerful opportunity for self-expression, confidence building, and developing critical thinking skills that are essential to their futures. There are so many things you can do with art. Art helps to expand your child's vocabulary by giving him the opportunity to express his own opinions on the piece of artwork. Through art, students can enrich their social life, analyze skills, mental development, maturity, and explore a world different from their own that they may never have imagined before.
