Aesthetic Development

Children have daily opportunities for aesthetic expression and appreciation through art and music. Children experiment with and enjoy various forms of music, both with the classroom teacher and with a music specialist. They develop familiarity with the basic elements of music, such as melody, rhythm, pitch, tempo, beat, and harmony.

A variety of art media are available for creative expression, such as watercolor pens, paint, and clay. Children are exposed to the basic elements of art, such as line, color, form, texture, space, and composition. Both music and art are woven into all aspects of the curriculum.
