The visual arts program at WMA teaches not only the production of art, but also the appreciation of art. Students learn the history and culture of artists and art forms. Each year a theme is chosen in which the art curriculum revolves. Ancient Egypt, Art in Spanish Speaking Countries, Asian Art, and European Art Through Time have already been explored, African Art and American Art are still to come.
At the end of the year, one work of art from each grade is selected to be framed and hung in the school as part of the permanent collection for all to see.
Students who study the art seriously are taught to see better, to envision, to be playful, to learn from mistakes, to make critical judgments and justifying such judgments. At WMA we value achievements in the arts as well as achievements in academics.
