“Art consists of celebrating, singing and carrying out beauty” Balthus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

What do we do?<\/p>\n\n

The Art Program at the school runs from preschool to eleventh grade. Thus, each student who graduates from Gimnasio Vermont will be a part of an artistic experience at at every stage of their school life, learn about the evolution of art through the different cultures of humanity, express their feelings and develop their creativity thanks to the diversity of techniques learned in their classes.<\/p>\n\n

How do we do it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\nStudents internalize art by exploring and searching for different possibilities to express their feelings, emotions and understanding of reality. Their first artistic approaches become expressions of their inner world. Later, they will come into contact with a wide range of resources, techniques and aesthetic currents that will awaken in them the necessary creativity to capture them in their works.<\/p>\n\n

These works, made term by term and which are exhibited in the school facilities, surprise the visitor by the display of imagination and creativity. In this way, art at Gimnasio Vermont is a stage that supports the subjective, expressive, reflective and divergent processes.<\/p>\n\n

We focus on developing in students: creativity, exploration and investigation as an essential part of the creation of their artistic projects.<\/p>\n\n

Research<\/strong>: Part of the training that children receive is the possibility of coming into contact with the evolution of the arts in the history of humanity, through the study and analysis of the works, artistic movements, theories, interviews, questions and the art journal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Exploration<\/strong>: Children have at their disposal an assorment of materials, a variety of previously presented techniques and forms such as provocations, paintings, drawings, digital media, printmaking, writing, ceramics, construction, modeling and unconventional materials (recycled materials).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Students from all sections participate in the three exhibitions that are held at the end of each term. Another wonderful opportunity is putting the work of Gimnasio Vermont students in context at the Uncoli Art Festivals, in which all the association’s schools participate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
