Art and Music
The Arts are an integral part of all learning at The Advent School. Children meet in half groups once a week for Art class, learning to envision, and create compositions and three-dimensional forms. Developing drawing, painting, sculpting, and printmaking techniques are examples of individual and collaborative learning. Children often express their understanding of thematic content through the arts and value the process of making art as well as the end result.
In Music classes Advent students enjoy singing, movement, and playing musical instruments. As they learn to read musical notation and create original rhythms, they become good listeners and appreciate a variety of musical forms. Chorus begins in the spring of the Fourth Grade year. Children in Fifth and Sixth Grades participate in chorus and our annual Sixth Grade musical production.
“The Advent School began helping our children prepare for success at their next school from their very first day. They learned the necessary skills of reading, writing, math and test taking but they also learned to be critical thinkers, confident public speakers, creative artists and musicians, and good citizens as well!”
