DFT Artist Circle

Purpose of the Program

The Art Club is an after-school organization offered to 4 th graders in
the fall and 5th graders in the fall and spring.
There are three primary purposes of this program:
1. To offer an opportunity to experiment with more complex art
media and
materials that are difficult to use during school hours and
in a traditional
classroom setting.
2. To encourage students to continue their study of art in their
personal life
outside of school.
3. To allow students the opportunity to work collaboratively to
create artwork for the benefit and enjoyment of the
community.
