Elementary Art

The Marion Center Elementary Art Program is a sequential curriculum from grades Kindergarten through sixth grade.  Our Elementary Art Program connects students to the Elements and Principals of Art, focusing on historical and contemporary artists as well as cultural appreciation through the arts.  The students are encouraged to use creative and critical problem solving skills in the creation of art.  Integration of other curriculum's is supported through all facets of the art program with these problem solving skills.
