Welcome to Ms. Walker-Arsenault's
World of Visual Glee!
Art is an important part of our school environment here at ILCS.
All around the walls of ILCS you will see art of all sorts shapes and sizes; posters, bulletin boards, colorful displays, photomontages and maps, or motivating displays that encourage and congratulate our students. We have many murals and doors decorated with student work. In fact- the whole school environment is alive with art! Art helps share thoughts, ideas and feelings, and brings us together as a community.
As a teacher of ILCS students K-12, I see art as an expression of our student’s individuality and personality. Art can give students an outlet of expression that is essential to their future. Art improves children’s imagination; challenges student’s thinking, widens their perspective, improves brain function, and is one of the few ways we can reach our visual learners.
In the wider world the arts are increasingly growing in fields such as technology, film and television; and provide many career possibilities for our students.
‘The purpose of art education is to enable individuals to find meaning in the world of art for life in the everyday world”.
This is my goal here at ILCS.
