Example of a Class

Stage Design: Working with the Art teacher, students will learn how to use tools to create scenes. Students will have an opportunity to research the period of the play and bring it alive. This class works collaboratively with our Theatre class.

Visual Arts: All scholars at IS 429 will take Visual Art. To the extent possible, our Visual Arts class will be aligned with the Social Studies units of study. Our program will emphasize a genuine art studio experience that stresses visual imagery and the elements of art: line, shape, color, pattern, texture, and space. Assignments encourage students to expand their artistic skills, broaden their visual perception, and develop facilities with various media. The assignments are structured and sequential, but they encourage different creative responses. The studio environment fosters community, compassion, and respect for students' work processes and creations.
