Welcome
to the Boise School District's Art Department!
The Boise School District has a discipline-based approach to
art curriculum that includes more than the making of art. Art’s
role in time, place and culture is considered and students learn
to make judgments and form personal opinions about the nature
of art, beauty and artistic experiences.
- Our curriculum is comprehensive and
includes learning in other subject areas, such as social studies,
geography, and language arts. It expands students’ imaginations
and develops critical-thinking skills.
- We draw upon resources in the community
to enhance classroom experiences: volunteers, partners-in-education,
visiting artists, museums, and businesses.
- Students are guided towards building
skills in cooperation and group problem solving, to develop
imagination, to interpret and to evaluate what they see.
- Students learn about art from different
cultures and historical eras.
- Students produce artwork and develop
skills and knowledge while working with a variety of media
and techniques.
- Our program includes history, aesthetics,
production and criticism/evaluation.
This is much more
than the making of art; it is the learning about others,
about ourselves, and about our world!
