The elementary art program in Rockwood is taught by certified art specialists. The 1-5 program provides approximately 55-60 minutes of instruction every week. The kindergarten students receive a minimum of 30 minutes of instruction per week. The program gives each student a quality art education based on art production, art history, art criticism, and aesthetic awareness.
