Creativity, skill, and artistic expression from kindergarten through graduation

Lynbrook's standards-based art program is taught entirely by certified art teachers. From their first lessons in kindergarten to advanced studio work in high school, students build skills, explore a growing range of materials and mediums, and learn to see, think about, and talk about art.

Art Across the Grades

Kindergarten and Elementary

Grades K-5

Students learn the basic elements and principles of art and design, along with art history, aesthetics, and art criticism. They are introduced to the materials and techniques they need to create their own work.

Middle School

Students explore more advanced concepts and a wider range of mediums while studying art history and popular culture. Eighth graders with a serious interest and advanced ability may take an accelerated Studio in Art course.
