Art

The art and music programs at OLHR School center on the individual child. Experiences in art and music allow children to express themselves successfully while developing skills and concepts that are the foundation of arts education. We believe that art and music assist in developing and using higher level critical and creative thinking skills, helping students to develop and use a unique form of communication and self- expression. Art and music also provide another way for students to experience their own and other cultures. Most importantly, it increases learning in all areas of the curriculum, builds self-esteem, encourages self-reliance and enhances lifelong learning. Yearly, students participate in Art Walk, a showcase of their talents to parents and the community.
