art & Music

Art

Students will receive art instruction on a regular basis. Developing creativity for each child is encouraged through lessons in drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, and crafts. Students who actively participate will develop creative thinking skills, be able to relate art to their environment, develop a sense of self-worth, and be able to make intellectual, visual, and aesthetic judgments.

Music

Classroom music instruction at Auburn is offered to all students once a week. In this class, there is total student involvement stressing activities such as singing, listening, moving, and playing of instruments. Through these activities, fundamental musical skills and concepts are taught and developed. Creativity, teamwork, and individual expression are also areas of focus. Students in grade 5 use song flutes and recorders to aid in learning to read musical notation. They will be offered the opportunity to purchase these instruments during the school year.
