Phelps Luck Elementary has an art website! Works by our student artists will be posted here. We will be updating, so check back for more student art work! At each grade level page we will post what the students have been working on recently, as wells as the skills, techniques, concepts, and master artists they have learned.

What do students learn in the Art room?
- We investigate the four major disciplines: art history, art criticism, aesthetics (why art is valued), and the production of art; through drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, and crafts.
- Problem solving skills: Problems can have more than one solution. Comparing and contrasting. To modify their solution to a problem as other possibilities are discovered and explored.
- Multiple perspectives: To expand their understanding and awareness of the world around them.
- Art has its own language: Images often express what cannot be said. Small differences can have large effects. Each medium has unique characteristics, the choices we make of which to use and how to use them influence the outcome of our artwork.
From the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Educational Research and Improvement:
The visual arts (drawing, painting, sculpture, crafts, printmaking) enrich our lives and help children express their emotions. For younger children, doing artwork helps them get ready to read and write by developing visual and motor skills. Doing artwork gives older children the opportunity to get away from a desk and use different learning styles to explore beyond words and numbers.
