Armory Center for the Arts (K-6)

Additionally, the Armory Center for the Arts has partnered with Hamilton Elementary School to provide an Artist in Residence on campus through a project called “Art Central” (www.armoryarts.org/programs/school.html). This instructor implements a variety of programs for all grade levels to enable students to develop their visual and performing art skills, techniques, and understanding:

• Grades K-3: students participate in an 8 week program organized around Open Court themes.
• Grade 4: Children Investigate the Environment (CIE): An 8 week program based on the concept that “observation and experimentation are integral aspects of both science and art. Students explore a local natural resource using drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, and expressive writing” through a series of field trips to Eaton Canyon.
• Grades 5-6: Fun with Language, Arts and Reading (FLARE): Gives students opportunities to create original works of art in a variety of media, as well as learn about artworks created by others. Students are encouraged to develop an imaginative and expressive voice while being guided in building vocabulary and research skills.
• Students also have the opportunity to visit the Armory Center for the Arts.
