City School Art Dept. Receives Vermont DOE Grant

The Art Department at City School recently applied for and received a very generous grant from the Vermont Department of Education. This grant is providing technology, education and training creating e-portfolios using the Elements and Principles of Design.
The purpose of this project is to redesign the approach to art education within our school to support the development of an “arts” magnet 7-8 team within a thematic interdisciplinary project based learning environment. Our goals are to
strengthen the students' understanding of the elements and principles of design through the art curriculum,
provide students the technology skills needed to create or document their knowledge and skills in arts, academics and other areas using elements and principal of design in an electronic portfolio, guide students in the design of culminating event projects that integrate academic content, arts, and technology.
