Avonworth Elementary School Art
Students have one 45 minute art class once in a six day rotation throughout the school year. Students will explore, create, and learn about a variety of art forms, artists, techniques, and skills. The artwork students create throughout the year is displayed at the school-wide art show in the spring. The projects and lessons are created to reflect the Pennsylvania State Standards for the Arts and Humanities as well as the National Core Arts Standards.
