"Art is not a treasure in the past or an importation from another land, but part of the present life of all living and creating peoples."
~Franklin D. Roosevelt
I have lots of information to share with you here!

Las Brisas Art Curriculum
All art programs in the Deer Valley Unified School District, including ours at Las Brisas, are committed to designing developmentally-appropriate experiences for students which foster creativity, critical thinking skills, problem solving and self-expression for life-long learning. We are able to use traditional art materials as well as current technology.
The integrity of a curriculum depends on its diversity, integration and exploration of creative problem solving. Art is a form of universal communication, a celebration of our uniqueness. Art education at Las Brisas encourages a student to expand his or her awareness of their environment. The whole child as an artist is guided to share his or her feelings and impact others while learning self discipline. We use art as a vehicle for knowing and understanding the world. It is active experiential learning in a meaningful context. Art is an essential part of the curriculum at Las Brisas.
Feel free to stop by and take a look at the curriculum materials any time, or you can check out the Arizona State Standards for Visual Art online. You might also want to check out Deer Valley School District's Art Page for current information on all the arts in our district.
