Art in Action

Art in Action is a comprehensive visual art curriculum run by parent volunteers who provide students in grades K - 5 with a high-quality art education. Each grade level enjoys 12 sequential lessons in which students emulate the artistic practices of different artists and build a solid foundation in drawing, painting, and sculpture techniques. The lessons also develop students' critical thinking skills, creativity, visual literacy, and self-esteem, as well as an appreciation of other cultures. Art in Action is a nonprofit dedicated to bringing visual arts education to the classroom with an engaging, hands-on curriculum that teaches art history, art appreciation, and art techniques.
