The Lincoln Street School Visual Arts Program is a fine arts program with an emphasis on art history. A holistic approach to learning is employed, honoring multiple intelligences, and varied learning styles. Students are submerged in the stories that surround the art - in the hopes that they will come to understand the importance of historical context. This is a process-based program that exposes students to printmaking, painting, drawing, sculpture, photography & collage. Each lesson begins in a sketch journal - where students can both write & draw about their initial ideas before going on to the final piece. They experience the full cycle of the creative process from the beginning thought to the completed artwork. LSS (along with SAU16 as a district) has adopted the National Core Arts Standards as a base for curriculum development. These adopted standards were released by the New Hampshire Department of Education on October 22, 2014. See the link below.
