Art Program

All students attend art class once a week. Kindergarten meets for 30 minutes and grades 1-4 for 45 minutes. The curriculum is designed to align with the New Hampshire Department of Education Curriculum Framework for the Arts. A variety of mediums and techniques are introduced at the lower levels and reinforced throughout the grades. Students are exposed to the work of famous artists through the use of children’s literature and art prints. The program’s goal is to give students basic skills, knowledge of art principles and respect for materials while providing them with age appropriate experiences that they can meet with some level of success.

Each Spring a school wide art show for grades 1-4 is held in conjunction with a special Traveling Art Show which consists of 10 pieces of work from Village/Hill as well as from 9 other schools. Our school is represented at a regional Youth Art Month exhibit during the month of March. We also display work at the SAU office for a few weeks during the school year and participate with all other Pembroke schools in a district wide art show held at the Pembroke Town Library in the late Spring.
