We are able to use traditional art materials as well as current technology.<p> db2e49dd2ef185ac5738a9fa7c682d83 Amy Brett http://art.myteacher.dvusd.com/2001/10/03 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.<p> 68129f178d8caf05eba981debda6f3ef Amy Brett http://art.myteacher.dvusd.com/2001/10/03 Feel free to stop by and take a look at the curriculum materials any time, or you can check out the <a href="http://www.ade.state.az.us/standards/arts/revised/VisualArts.pdf">Arizona State Standards for Visual Art</a> online.
