ABOUT US

Ms. Pérez and Ms. Bakker have taught the art program together at The Caedmon School since 2007.

The art program is based in the Montessori theory of process over product. We strive to instill the art students with the idea that what they consider a mistake, is actually a possibility to make changes, improvements, and transformations. “Mistakes are proof you are trying” is the motto of our art studio. The students are given the opportunity to work with many 'real' materials and learn new techniques. We view a wide range of art, including modern and contemporary, choosing artists with thoughts toward diversity, from which to draw inspiration.

​

The students are encouraged to create art in a non-linear, non-literal manner; to learn how art, science, and math unite, overlap, and compliment each other. Teaching to the individual, hands-on lessons, and thoughtful self-critiques are the norm. The foundation is built with projects beginning in Early Program, and continuing through Upper Level, in color theory, line creation, and composition.
