Art is one of the many ways children express themselves. Art is a way for children to communicate their feelings. It is through art that children develop their fine motor skills. In the Montessori environment, we provide open-ended art activities that help children explore and use their creativity.

Students pursue a variety of self driven projects throughout the year including printmaking, drawing, sewing, sculpture, weaving, and design projects. A wide variety of artistic traditions and famous artists are also studied.

​

The arts allow for purposeful meaning-making. When students can integrate social, emotional, physical and intellectual understanding through the creation or experience of art, that understanding is made more personal, more responsive and has a more lasting impact on our kiddos.

At Dream House,the arts, including visual arts, music, dance and theater, comprise a discipline of their own. The arts contribute to and reflect cognitive development. The arts promote an understanding of multiple cultures and traditions, supporting the development of social skills, empathy, creating thinking, self-awareness and cooperation. The arts offer inclusive learning opportunities regardless of socioeconomic experience, race, religion, gender or academic ability.
