Freedom of expression is born from skill. Children in Montessori classrooms have many opportunities to strengthen their hand and their precision, allowing them to begin to individually create representations of what is in their own mind with increasing confidence. The Montessori curriculum incorporates art into many areas of the classroom, as art can bring meaning and interest to complex concepts.
Through their Montessori journey, children are exposed to the work of great artists from around the world and the wide variety of styles represented. They practice their ability to discern information about the techniques and medias used. Older children may take field trips to explore area museums and participate in workshops!
