The art classes for grades K-8 at St. Veronica School are based on the DBAE (Discipline Based Art Education) guidelines. Integration of Art History, Art Criticism, Studio Production, Pottery, and Aesthetics into the curriculum allows for the student to have a well-rounded art experience.  Artists from the past and present are studied, students are taught to describe, analyze, interpret, and make a judgment about artwork.  These skills can transfer to other areas of school and life.  Planning, implementing, cleaning up, and critiquing one’s own and other’s artwork are encouraged.  Aesthetics about art both large and small are questioned and discussed.
