Visual Arts with Ms. Fiorino (K-5)The Elementary visual arts program at PS 95 is an inclusive, nurturing program. All students are encouraged to try new things and build their skills as artists through immersion in different forms of art including drawing, painting, oil pastel, collage, sculpture (puppet making) stop motion animation and multimedia art. We approach the arts through a lens of literacy and include content specific vocabulary and creative problem solving. Our students have been recognized and have had artwork on display in the Bronx Borough Arts Festival at Lehman College and PS Art @ the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This year we are implementing a Multilingual learner program with Studio in a School and partnering with Dreamyard to provide our students with a variety of experiences in visual arts.
