P.S. 089 Elmhurst's art program strives to enrich our students through the arts. Our goal is to help children learn to express themselves in varied ways, which may include creating art, talking about art, sharing their unique abilities and potentially develop a lifelong awareness and participation in the arts. Through sensitive adult guidance, children are aided in mastering pivotal moves in the artistic process: the creation of ideas for personal expression, the discovery of visual qualities to express ideas and feelings, and the use of media to convey an expressive intent. A strong sense of pride is created in our students through our continued concentration on the cultural diversity of our student population. Through the varied arts media, students are taught about different cultures by learning native songs and dances as well as art history. One goal that we achieved for our 2020-21 school year was to have every single student receive one or more arts disciplines throughout the school year. This year we hosted two annual Arts Expos, one in the fall and one in the spring, which honored the work of every student who participated. We welcomed the entire school community - students, staff members, family and community members to view the expo in a remote format.
Q43 1
During this unusual year, 2 of our arts teachers were pulled from their programs to teach first grade remote classes. The dance, music, and art rooms were utilized for classrooms only. Dance, music, and art classes were taught remotely via google classroom and zoom. Only some dance classes were taught in person in the gym space.
