Student art from Ross Valley School District is represented on the walls of the Fairfax Library this month in an exhibit titled: “Imagination.”  Children from kindergarten through middle school have created works in a variety of mediums, from watercolor to clay.

The Mission of the district art program is to provide children in Kindergarten through 8th grades with an enriched, developmentally appropriate and challenging art curriculum that inspires creativity and self-expression, builds self-confidence, develops problem solving and divergent thinking, and promotes students to become lifelong learners. Students become familiar with a variety of art media, tools, techniques, as well as an appreciation for and the development of the language of art and the ability to employ the elements of art and principles of design in their work. The program also emphasizes the importance of art in history and contemporary society.
