Putting Dreams on Paper . . . Arts are alive at Harvard!
The mission of The Harvard School Art Department is to educate each child to bacome a productive, compassionate and responsible citizen by integrating the arts into a positive school experience where children interpret their natural creative ability for personal, and social success.
Art is for Everyone
All grades explore the world of art through painting, drawing, collage, printing, and sculpture. Each class meets 50 minutes weekly. They explore different materials, while studying the basic core elements art in order to communicate effectively in the classroom. Children are introduced to classic artists, culture and history and have fun doing it!

We want our kids to be life-long learners; giving
them a range of ways to learn, early on, helps
feed their curiosity. Art helps children to make
connections, to practice patience, and to learn
to trust themselves in the creative process. And
it’s fun! After investing some time and energy
in art class, a student produces something
tangible, touchable. It’s an achievement that’s
real in a different way than a good grade on
a test.
“Art is more than something nice we do with our children. It is
an essential component in their development.”
Sums up the art teacher,
Kenneth Robertson. He’s been teaching at Harvard 17 years, and finds
purpose and joy in the work. “The kids are crazy. And I love that.” |
