Art Teacher | Courtney Dickinson | courtney.dickinson@warwickschools.org
The Sherman Elementary School Art department creates rich and engaging experiences and opportunities for all learners. A successful art program not only fosters many areas of growth in myriad ways, it helps students see and understand visual arts in different ways. Students begin to develop an aesthetic sense and understanding of their own design and see the potential in their own skills. They forge a sense of visual literacy that promotes individuality and critical thinking skills.
At Sherman Elementary, we want our students to experience the reward and joy of art that is both technically and spiritually expressive.
