Mount Vernon’s Preschool art program revolves around the basic principles of art and design. Students have art once a week for 30 minutes where they develop a basic understanding of various media through art production and experiences. The instructor acts a guide by introducing skills and techniques for students to apply imagination and individual creativity. Although art production is the focal point with preschoolers, the class is designed to facilitate art history, aesthetics and art critique. The art class is interrelated which involves a whole learning approach by integrating social studies, science, language arts, and math.
