ART CORPS is a comprehensive, developmental curriculum which teaches artistic fundamentals by bringing process-oriented, hands on art experience to the classroom. The success of this program depends upon parent volunteers who are trained in workshops to teach art in the classroom. Over the past years our experience has shown the program provides students with a cumulative set of skills and experiences.
