The Art Room
For 45 minutes each week, grade school children enter the very special world of the art room, where they share ideas, build confidence, and feel independent enough to explore, take creative risks, problem-solve, and meet new and unique challenges. It's an engaging. joyful, creative experience in which they learn to make, analyze, interpret, evaluate, and respond to works of art.

Studio Habits of Mind
In the elementary art classes, children develop their Studio Habits of Mind.
They develop their craft, learning to use different tools, materials, and artistic processes.
They learn to care for the tools, materials, and space they use.
They learn to embrace problems as opportunities, to develop focus, to persist and persevere at tasks.
They learn to envision and imagine.
They learn to plan.
They express themselves, making art that conveys ideas, feelings, or personal meanings.
They observe, looking closely and carefully at things.
They are encouraged to become sensitive to the natural environment as they work from observation, memory, and imagination.
They reflect on what they and their fellow artists have done.
We spend time learning how to look at and talk about art.
They stretch and explore, reaching beyond what they thought they could do.
They learn to embrace opportunities, discover through play, and learn from their mistakes.
They work and interact with one another in the community that is the art class, and they’ll have a chance to share their work with their wider communities of school and family.
Studio Habits of Mind comes out of the framework of Studio Thinking, designed by practitioners at Project Zero, the research arm of Harvard’s School of Education.

Topics
Students use a variety of art media and methods, including drawing, painting, ceramics, weaving, printmaking, and collage.
They learn about the Elements of Art, which might be described as the basic building blocks of art, and include Line, Shape, Form, Texture, Value, Color, and Space. These form the conceptual basis of most of our art lessons.
Children are introduced to some of the Principles of Art, the guidelines used to help organize the elements in order to attract a viewer’s attention. These principles include such concepts as Contrast, Balance, Emphasis, Repetition, Unity, Variety, and Movement.

Artwork for Ukraine at Pine Glen
Welcome to the artwork for Ukraine project at Pine Glen School. The intention of this artwork is to show our support for our global community in Ukraine. In Burlington, we seek to instill children with the knowledge that they are global citizens. We strive for our students to see the impact that they can make by creating beauty in the world through art.
Every student made an artwork of a sunflower. The sunflower is the national flower of Ukraine. Under the banner of a blue sky a field of sunflowers stand tall to represent the blue and yellow stripes of the Ukrainian flag. Each class’ artwork is dispersed throughout the school with augmented reality. Their artwork blooms and appears when viewed through the iPads stationed around the school. These special works of art are a reminder that kindness and hope can flourish even in times of struggle. So come and discover the warmth and beauty of our students’ creations with us.
