Welcome to Art & Technology!



In both Technology and Art, there is a spiral curriculum . Students will see the same topics throughout their school career, with each encounter increasing in complexity and reinforcing previous learning. In Art, mediums, concepts, elements of Art and Art History,  will be introduced and reintroduced on the appropriate grade level. In Technology, students will be introduced and reintroduced to keyboarding, coding, basic research skills, G Suite for education, internet safety and responsible school use. Classroom academics are also enhanced and strengthened in the computer lab by educational gaming and grade specific reading and writing programs. As technology advances, students will be introduced to the latest trends and kept current.
