Copy of ArtLab | Hamilton Elementary

The vision for ArtLab at Hamilton Elementary Fine and Performing Arts School is to provide visual art instruction that will nurture curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, cultural awareness, and self-expression while developing a lasting appreciation for visual art in every student.

Program Curriculum

At Hamilton, students will engage with a wide range of artistic practices, including drawing, painting, sculpture, fabric arts, mixed media, digital art, and art history. They will explore various styles, artists, and art movements, from the classics to contemporary, broadening their visual art understanding and learning the language of art. The development of this program and each lesson is ongoing, with careful integration of visual art into our K-8 literacy curriculum, where students connect art with literature. Our aim is to make complex concepts accessible to all students, reinforcing the themes and ideas they encounter in their readings through hands-on art exploration and discussion. ArtLab’s mission is to leverage the creative strengths of our community, provide rich and dynamic artistic experiences for our students, and celebrate their creative achievements.
